What is 475000 percent of 142 - 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 142 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 142 is 100%, so we can write it down as 142=100%.
4. We know, that x is 475000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=475000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 142=100%
2) x=475000%
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:
142/x=100%/475000%
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 475000% of 142

142/x=100/475000
(142/x)*x=(100/475000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
142=0.00021052631578947*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00021052631578947) to get x
142/0.00021052631578947=x
674500=x
x=674500

now we have:
475000% of 142=674500
