What is 1500000 percent of 0.02 - 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 0.02 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 0.02 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.02=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1500000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1500000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.02=100%
2) x=1500000%
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:
0.02/x=100%/1500000%
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 1500000% of 0.02

0.02/x=100/1500000
(0.02/x)*x=(100/1500000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.02=6.6666666666667E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6666666666667E-5) to get x
0.02/6.6666666666667E-5=x
300=x
x=300

now we have:
1500000% of 0.02=300
