What is 500000 percent of 0.055 - 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 0.055 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 0.055 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.055=100%.
4. We know, that x is 500000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=500000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.055=100%
2) x=500000%
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:
0.055/x=100%/500000%
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 500000% of 0.055

0.055/x=100/500000
(0.055/x)*x=(100/500000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.055=0.0002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0002) to get x
0.055/0.0002=x
275=x
x=275

now we have:
500000% of 0.055=275
