What is 480000 percent of 0.005 - 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 0.005 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 0.005 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.005=100%.
4. We know, that x is 480000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=480000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.005=100%
2) x=480000%
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:
0.005/x=100%/480000%
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 480000% of 0.005

0.005/x=100/480000
(0.005/x)*x=(100/480000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.005=0.00020833333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00020833333333333) to get x
0.005/0.00020833333333333=x
24=x
x=24

now we have:
480000% of 0.005=24
