What is 5000 percent of 3600000 - 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 3600000 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 3600000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3600000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3600000=100%
2) x=5000%
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:
3600000/x=100%/5000%
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 5000% of 3600000

3600000/x=100/5000
(3600000/x)*x=(100/5000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3600000=0.02*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.02) to get x
3600000/0.02=x
180000000=x
x=180000000

now we have:
5000% of 3600000=180000000
