What is 5000000 percent of 14.4 - 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 14.4 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 14.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5000000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5000000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.4=100%
2) x=5000000%
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:
14.4/x=100%/5000000%
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 5000000% of 14.4

14.4/x=100/5000000
(14.4/x)*x=(100/5000000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.4=2.0E-5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0E-5) to get x
14.4/2.0E-5=x
720000=x
x=720000

now we have:
5000000% of 14.4=720000
