What is 57142 percent of 600000 - 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 600000 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 600000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 600000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57142% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57142%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 600000=100%
2) x=57142%
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:
600000/x=100%/57142%
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 57142% of 600000

600000/x=100/57142
(600000/x)*x=(100/57142)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
600000=0.0017500262503938*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0017500262503938) to get x
600000/0.0017500262503938=x
342852000=x
x=342852000

now we have:
57142% of 600000=342852000
