96 is what percent of 325000 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 325000 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 325000, so we can write it down as 100%=325000.
4. We know, that x% equals 96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325000
2) x%=96
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=325000/96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 96 is what percent of 325000

100%/x%=325000/96
(100/x)*x=(325000/96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3385.4166666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3385.4166666667) to get x
100/3385.4166666667=x
0.029538461538462=x
x=0.029538461538462

now we have:
96 is 0.029538461538462% of 325000
