What is 75000 percent of 238000 - 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 238000 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 238000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 238000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 75000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=75000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 238000=100%
2) x=75000%
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:
238000/x=100%/75000%
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 75000% of 238000

238000/x=100/75000
(238000/x)*x=(100/75000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
238000=0.0013333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0013333333333333) to get x
238000/0.0013333333333333=x
178500000=x
x=178500000

now we have:
75000% of 238000=178500000
