7508.28 is what percent of 15000 - 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 15000 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 15000, so we can write it down as 100%=15000.
4. We know, that x% equals 7508.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7508.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15000
2) x%=7508.28
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%=15000/7508.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7508.28 is what percent of 15000

100%/x%=15000/7508.28
(100/x)*x=(15000/7508.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9977944349438*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9977944349438) to get x
100/1.9977944349438=x
50.0552=x
x=50.0552

now we have:
7508.28 is 50.0552% of 15000
