What is 320000 percent of 5.5 - 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 5.5 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 5.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 320000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=320000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5.5=100%
2) x=320000%
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:
5.5/x=100%/320000%
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 320000% of 5.5

5.5/x=100/320000
(5.5/x)*x=(100/320000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5.5=0.0003125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0003125) to get x
5.5/0.0003125=x
17600=x
x=17600

now we have:
320000% of 5.5=17600
