0.5 is what percent of 5360000 - 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 5360000 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 5360000, so we can write it down as 100%=5360000.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5360000
2) x%=0.5
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%=5360000/0.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.5 is what percent of 5360000

100%/x%=5360000/0.5
(100/x)*x=(5360000/0.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10720000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10720000) to get x
100/10720000=x
9.3283582089552E-6=x
x=9.3283582089552E-6

now we have:
0.5 is 9.3283582089552E-6% of 5360000
