What is 175000 percent of 5500000 - 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 5500000 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 5500000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5500000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 175000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=175000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5500000=100%
2) x=175000%
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:
5500000/x=100%/175000%
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 175000% of 5500000

5500000/x=100/175000
(5500000/x)*x=(100/175000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5500000=0.00057142857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00057142857142857) to get x
5500000/0.00057142857142857=x
9625000000=x
x=9625000000

now we have:
175000% of 5500000=9625000000
