0.35 is what percent of 5000000 - 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 5000000 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 5000000, so we can write it down as 100%=5000000.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5000000
2) x%=0.35
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%=5000000/0.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.35 is what percent of 5000000

100%/x%=5000000/0.35
(100/x)*x=(5000000/0.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14285714.285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14285714.285714) to get x
100/14285714.285714=x
7.0E-6=x
x=7.0E-6

now we have:
0.35 is 7.0E-6% of 5000000
