What is 855 percent of 2500000 - 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 2500000 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 2500000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2500000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 855% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=855%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2500000=100%
2) x=855%
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:
2500000/x=100%/855%
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 855% of 2500000

2500000/x=100/855
(2500000/x)*x=(100/855)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2500000=0.11695906432749*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11695906432749) to get x
2500000/0.11695906432749=x
21375000=x
x=21375000

now we have:
855% of 2500000=21375000
