0.5 is what percent of 26224.7 - 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 26224.7 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 100% equals 26224.7, so we can write it down as 100%=26224.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=26224.7
2) x%=0.5
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:
100%/x%=26224.7/0.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.5 is what percent of 26224.7

100%/x%=26224.7/0.5
(100/x)*x=(26224.7/0.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=52449.4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (52449.4) to get x
100/52449.4=x
0.0019065995035215=x
x=0.0019065995035215

now we have:
0.5 is 0.0019065995035215% of 26224.7
