1270.85 is what percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500, so we can write it down as 100%=1500.
4. We know, that x% equals 1270.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1270.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1500
2) x%=1270.85
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%=1500/1270.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1270.85 is what percent of 1500

100%/x%=1500/1270.85
(100/x)*x=(1500/1270.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1803123893457*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1803123893457) to get x
100/1.1803123893457=x
84.723333333333=x
x=84.723333333333

now we have:
1270.85 is 84.723333333333% of 1500
