What is 260000 percent of 580000 - 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 580000 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 580000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 580000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 260000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=260000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 580000=100%
2) x=260000%
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:
580000/x=100%/260000%
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 260000% of 580000

580000/x=100/260000
(580000/x)*x=(100/260000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
580000=0.00038461538461538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00038461538461538) to get x
580000/0.00038461538461538=x
1508000000=x
x=1508000000

now we have:
260000% of 580000=1508000000
