What is 54.6 percent of 30000 - 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 30000 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 30000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 30000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 54.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=54.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 30000=100%
2) x=54.6%
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:
30000/x=100%/54.6%
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 54.6% of 30000

30000/x=100/54.6
(30000/x)*x=(100/54.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
30000=1.8315018315018*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8315018315018) to get x
30000/1.8315018315018=x
16380=x
x=16380

now we have:
54.6% of 30000=16380
