What is 8750 percent of 0.2 - 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 0.2 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 0.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8750% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8750%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.2=100%
2) x=8750%
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:
0.2/x=100%/8750%
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 8750% of 0.2

0.2/x=100/8750
(0.2/x)*x=(100/8750)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.2=0.011428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.011428571428571) to get x
0.2/0.011428571428571=x
17.5=x
x=17.5

now we have:
8750% of 0.2=17.5
