What is 5.36 percent of 900000 - 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 900000 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 900000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 900000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 900000=100%
2) x=5.36%
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:
900000/x=100%/5.36%
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 5.36% of 900000

900000/x=100/5.36
(900000/x)*x=(100/5.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
900000=18.65671641791*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.65671641791) to get x
900000/18.65671641791=x
48240=x
x=48240

now we have:
5.36% of 900000=48240
