7592.5 is what percent of 15185 - 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 15185 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 15185, so we can write it down as 100%=15185.
4. We know, that x% equals 7592.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7592.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15185
2) x%=7592.5
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%=15185/7592.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7592.5 is what percent of 15185

100%/x%=15185/7592.5
(100/x)*x=(15185/7592.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2) to get x
100/2=x
50=x
x=50

now we have:
7592.5 is 50% of 15185
