75240 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 75240 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=75240.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5
2) x%=75240
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%=5/75240
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 75240 is what percent of 5

100%/x%=5/75240
(100/x)*x=(5/75240)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6454013822435E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6454013822435E-5) to get x
100/6.6454013822435E-5=x
1504800=x
x=1504800

now we have:
75240 is 1504800% of 5
