2.5 is what percent of 1320000 - 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 1320000 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 1320000, so we can write it down as 100%=1320000.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1320000
2) x%=2.5
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%=1320000/2.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.5 is what percent of 1320000

100%/x%=1320000/2.5
(100/x)*x=(1320000/2.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=528000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (528000) to get x
100/528000=x
0.00018939393939394=x
x=0.00018939393939394

now we have:
2.5 is 0.00018939393939394% of 1320000
