What is 270000 percent of 8.5 - 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 8.5 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 8.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 270000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=270000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8.5=100%
2) x=270000%
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:
8.5/x=100%/270000%
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 270000% of 8.5

8.5/x=100/270000
(8.5/x)*x=(100/270000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8.5=0.00037037037037037*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00037037037037037) to get x
8.5/0.00037037037037037=x
22950=x
x=22950

now we have:
270000% of 8.5=22950
