What is 380000 percent of 2.72 - 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 2.72 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 2.72 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.72=100%.
4. We know, that x is 380000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=380000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.72=100%
2) x=380000%
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:
2.72/x=100%/380000%
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 380000% of 2.72

2.72/x=100/380000
(2.72/x)*x=(100/380000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.72=0.00026315789473684*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00026315789473684) to get x
2.72/0.00026315789473684=x
10336=x
x=10336

now we have:
380000% of 2.72=10336
