What is 5.8335 percent of 150000000 - 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 150000000 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 150000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 150000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.8335% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.8335%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 150000000=100%
2) x=5.8335%
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:
150000000/x=100%/5.8335%
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 5.8335% of 150000000

150000000/x=100/5.8335
(150000000/x)*x=(100/5.8335)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
150000000=17.142367360933*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.142367360933) to get x
150000000/17.142367360933=x
8750250=x
x=8750250

now we have:
5.8335% of 150000000=8750250
