14400 is what percent of 5 - 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 5 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 5, so we can write it down as 100%=5.
4. We know, that x% equals 14400 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14400.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=14400
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%=5/14400
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14400 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/14400
(100/x)*x=(5/14400)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00034722222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00034722222222222) to get x
100/0.00034722222222222=x
288000=x
x=288000

now we have:
14400 is 288000% of 5
