0.0034 is what percent of 1.2E-5 - 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 1.2E-5 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 100% equals 1.2E-5, so we can write it down as 100%=1.2E-5.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.0034 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.0034.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.2E-5
2) x%=0.0034
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:
100%/x%=1.2E-5/0.0034
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.0034 is what percent of 1.2E-5

100%/x%=1.2E-5/0.0034
(100/x)*x=(1.2E-5/0.0034)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00352941176471*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00352941176471) to get x
100/0.00352941176471=x
28333.3333333=x
x=28333.3333333

now we have:
0.0034 is 28333.3333333% of 1.2E-5
