What is 54.9 percent of 3000000 - 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 3000000 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 3000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 54.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=54.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3000000=100%
2) x=54.9%
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:
3000000/x=100%/54.9%
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 54.9% of 3000000

3000000/x=100/54.9
(3000000/x)*x=(100/54.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3000000=1.8214936247723*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8214936247723) to get x
3000000/1.8214936247723=x
1647000=x
x=1647000

now we have:
54.9% of 3000000=1647000
