What is 725000 percent of 2.9 - 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 2.9 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 2.9 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.9=100%.
4. We know, that x is 725000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=725000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.9=100%
2) x=725000%
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:
2.9/x=100%/725000%
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 725000% of 2.9

2.9/x=100/725000
(2.9/x)*x=(100/725000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.9=0.00013793103448276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00013793103448276) to get x
2.9/0.00013793103448276=x
21025=x
x=21025

now we have:
725000% of 2.9=21025
