407400 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 407400 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=407400.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=407400
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%=5/407400
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 407400 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/407400
(100/x)*x=(5/407400)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.227295041728E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.227295041728E-5) to get x
100/1.227295041728E-5=x
8148000=x
x=8148000

now we have:
407400 is 8148000% of 5
