What is 17750 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 5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17750% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17750%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5=100%
2) x=17750%
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:
5/x=100%/17750%
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 17750% of 5

5/x=100/17750
(5/x)*x=(100/17750)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5=0.0056338028169014*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0056338028169014) to get x
5/0.0056338028169014=x
887.5=x
x=887.5

now we have:
17750% of 5=887.5
