65 is what percent of 245000 - 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 245000 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 245000, so we can write it down as 100%=245000.
4. We know, that x% equals 65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=245000
2) x%=65
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%=245000/65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65 is what percent of 245000

100%/x%=245000/65
(100/x)*x=(245000/65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3769.2307692308*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3769.2307692308) to get x
100/3769.2307692308=x
0.026530612244898=x
x=0.026530612244898

now we have:
65 is 0.026530612244898% of 245000
