What is 179950 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 179950% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=179950%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5=100%
2) x=179950%
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%/179950%
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 179950% of 5

5/x=100/179950
(5/x)*x=(100/179950)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5=0.00055570991942206*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00055570991942206) to get x
5/0.00055570991942206=x
8997.5=x
x=8997.5

now we have:
179950% of 5=8997.5
