562000 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 562000 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=562000.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=562000
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%=5/562000
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 562000 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/562000
(100/x)*x=(5/562000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.8967971530249E-6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.8967971530249E-6) to get x
100/8.8967971530249E-6=x
11240000=x
x=11240000

now we have:
562000 is 11240000% of 5
