What is 23740 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 23740% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23740%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5=100%
2) x=23740%
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%/23740%
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 23740% of 5

5/x=100/23740
(5/x)*x=(100/23740)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5=0.004212299915754*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.004212299915754) to get x
5/0.004212299915754=x
1187=x
x=1187

now we have:
23740% of 5=1187
