What is 7400 percent of 5000000 - 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 5000000 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 5000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7400% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7400%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5000000=100%
2) x=7400%
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:
5000000/x=100%/7400%
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 7400% of 5000000

5000000/x=100/7400
(5000000/x)*x=(100/7400)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5000000=0.013513513513514*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.013513513513514) to get x
5000000/0.013513513513514=x
370000000=x
x=370000000

now we have:
7400% of 5000000=370000000
