What is 87550 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 87550% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=87550%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=87550%
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%/87550%
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 87550% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/87550
(2.5/x)*x=(100/87550)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=0.0011422044545974*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0011422044545974) to get x
2.5/0.0011422044545974=x
2188.75=x
x=2188.75

now we have:
87550% of 2.5=2188.75
