32000 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 32000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=32000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=32000
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%=5/32000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 32000 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/32000
(100/x)*x=(5/32000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.00015625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00015625) to get x
100/0.00015625=x
640000=x
x=640000

now we have:
32000 is 640000% of 5
