Question

What is the percentage of 200,000 in
131,000,000 ? ​

Answer 1

just an addition to the reply above, which is correct, so to the risk of sounding redundant.

if we take 131,000,000 to be the 100%, what is 200,000 off of it in percentage? Bearing in mind that 1% of 131,000,000 is really 1,310,000, notice we simply chopped off two zeros, but that amount is larger than 200,000 and thus whatever 200,000 is, is less than 1%.

`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 131000000&100\\ 200000&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{131000000}{200000}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{1310}{2}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ 1310x=200\implies x=\cfrac{200}{1310}\implies x\approx 0.1526717557251908`

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let assume that x% = 200,000

Lets assume that 100 % = 131,000,000 because it is the output value:

Therefore we have two equations:

x% = 200,000

100 % =131,000,000

Now observe that the L.H.S of both the equations have same unit. So we can write it as:

100%/x% = 131,000,000/200,000

Now just simply solve the values:

Multiply both sides by x

100/x *x = 131,000,000/200,000 *x

100=655x

Now divide both the sides by 655.

100/655 = 655x/655

100/655=x

0.15267175572519=x

Therefore the answer is 200,000 is 0.15267175572519% of 131,000,000 ....
