What is 21600 percent of 2.5 - 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 2.5 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 2.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21600% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21600%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=21600%
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:
2.5/x=100%/21600%
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 21600% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/21600
(2.5/x)*x=(100/21600)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=0.0046296296296296*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0046296296296296) to get x
2.5/0.0046296296296296=x
540=x
x=540

now we have:
21600% of 2.5=540
