What is 83700 percent of 2.5 - 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 2.5 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 2.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 83700% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=83700%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=83700%
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:
2.5/x=100%/83700%
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 83700% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/83700
(2.5/x)*x=(100/83700)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=0.001194743130227*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.001194743130227) to get x
2.5/0.001194743130227=x
2092.5=x
x=2092.5

now we have:
83700% of 2.5=2092.5
