27500 is what percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 27500 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27500.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=27500
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%=1/27500
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27500 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/27500
(100/x)*x=(1/27500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6363636363636E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6363636363636E-5) to get x
100/3.6363636363636E-5=x
2750000=x
x=2750000

now we have:
27500 is 2750000% of 1
