I Am stupid like a potato. Please help me

[erre]

I feel ashamed, but I have to ask help for a basic math question:


IF when I sent some btc to my friend 0.08179 btc was equal to 500 euros, how much was the btc price?

I tried with a simple proportion like 0.08179:500=1:x, but seems it'not right, and I feel stupid like a potato. Normally even if I don't do it many times I can solve basic math problems without SO much pain, and this is  a very very simple one, but I am excruciating.

As an excuse, I am drunk.

Please give the number, AND math

First, find EURO price 0.08179:500= 6.113 EURO for one bitcoin, 1 euro is around 1,12 dollars, so that gives a bitcoin price of around 6.850 USD

An easy way to do it is to divide 500 by 0.08179.

500 / 0.08179 = 6113.22 Euros.

Like a potato, LOL. Haven't heard that one before.
Where we live we would say stupid like a shoe

cryptjh and BADecker already gave the right answers, but I want to add that your original answer was right too

your simple proportion 0.08179:500=1:x solves as:
x=500/0.08179 =6113,22€, which is the correct answer.

proportions are "easier" to solve when you put the x as a numerator (above the line)
eg:
500/0.08179=x/1 => x=1*500/0.08179

I guess the effects of alcohol s gone by now mate,so you can answer this question easily

But since the 3 had already brings the formula,BADecker,cryptjh and aplistir then you don’t need to be drunk again just to ask this potato question lol

Thank you very much  

Now I'm getting it, yesterday I made 0.081/500 like one hundreds times lol....I suppose it was the alcohol, or at least I like to think so  

Another way would be divide 1 by 0.081 and then multiply it by 500! Thank you!!

Haha erre was joking here for sure

Ooooooor was waisted AF

I feel ashamed, but I have to ask help for a basic math question:

To err erre is human, to get shitfaced drunk and try to do math, not so divine.

500 / 0.08179 = 6113.22 Euros.

That's the way math works.

But getting drunk has to do with the way that nature works. Math is only man's feeble attempt at understanding nature.
