What is 1500000 percent of 850000 - 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 850000 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 850000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 850000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1500000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1500000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 850000=100%
2) x=1500000%
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:
850000/x=100%/1500000%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 1500000% of 850000

850000/x=100/1500000
(850000/x)*x=(100/1500000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
850000=6.6666666666667E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6666666666667E-5) to get x
850000/6.6666666666667E-5=x
12750000000=x
x=12750000000

now we have:
1500000% of 850000=12750000000
