What is 0.0125 percent of 15480 - 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 15480 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 15480 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15480=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.0125% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.0125%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15480=100%
2) x=0.0125%
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:
15480/x=100%/0.0125%
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 0.0125% of 15480

15480/x=100/0.0125
(15480/x)*x=(100/0.0125)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15480=8000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8000) to get x
15480/8000=x
1.935=x
x=1.935

now we have:
0.0125% of 15480=1.935
