What is 62500 percent of 87500 - 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 87500 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 87500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 87500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 62500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=62500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 87500=100%
2) x=62500%
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:
87500/x=100%/62500%
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 62500% of 87500

87500/x=100/62500
(87500/x)*x=(100/62500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
87500=0.0016*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0016) to get x
87500/0.0016=x
54687500=x
x=54687500

now we have:
62500% of 87500=54687500
