20544.87 is what percent of 0.0025 - 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 0.0025 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 0.0025, so we can write it down as 100%=0.0025.
4. We know, that x% equals 20544.87 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20544.87.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.0025
2) x%=20544.87
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%=0.0025/20544.87
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20544.87 is what percent of 0.0025

100%/x%=0.0025/20544.87
(100/x)*x=(0.0025/20544.87)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2168487802551E-7*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2168487802551E-7) to get x
100/1.2168487802551E-7=x
821794800=x
x=821794800

now we have:
20544.87 is 821794800% of 0.0025
