8.25 is what 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 100% equals 3000000, so we can write it down as 100%=3000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3000000
2) x%=8.25
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%=3000000/8.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.25 is what percent of 3000000

100%/x%=3000000/8.25
(100/x)*x=(3000000/8.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=363636.36363636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (363636.36363636) to get x
100/363636.36363636=x
0.000275=x
x=0.000275

now we have:
8.25 is 0.000275% of 3000000
