What is 15000000 percent of 23000000 - 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 23000000 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 23000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15000000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15000000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23000000=100%
2) x=15000000%
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:
23000000/x=100%/15000000%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 15000000% of 23000000

23000000/x=100/15000000
(23000000/x)*x=(100/15000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23000000=6.6666666666667E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6666666666667E-6) to get x
23000000/6.6666666666667E-6=x
3450000000000=x
x=3450000000000

now we have:
15000000% of 23000000=3450000000000
