25 is what percent of 5350000 - 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 5350000 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 5350000, so we can write it down as 100%=5350000.
4. We know, that x% equals 25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5350000
2) x%=25
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%=5350000/25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 25 is what percent of 5350000

100%/x%=5350000/25
(100/x)*x=(5350000/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=214000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (214000) to get x
100/214000=x
0.00046728971962617=x
x=0.00046728971962617

now we have:
25 is 0.00046728971962617% of 5350000
