What is 85000 percent of 800000 - 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 800000 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 800000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 800000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 85000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=85000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 800000=100%
2) x=85000%
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:
800000/x=100%/85000%
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 85000% of 800000

800000/x=100/85000
(800000/x)*x=(100/85000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
800000=0.0011764705882353*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0011764705882353) to get x
800000/0.0011764705882353=x
680000000=x
x=680000000

now we have:
85000% of 800000=680000000
