What is 248000 percent of 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 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 5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 248000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=248000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5=100%
2) x=248000%
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:
5/x=100%/248000%
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 248000% of 5

5/x=100/248000
(5/x)*x=(100/248000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5=0.00040322580645161*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00040322580645161) to get x
5/0.00040322580645161=x
12400=x
x=12400

now we have:
248000% of 5=12400
