What is 0.575 percent of 1517.5 - 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 1517.5 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 1517.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1517.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.575% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.575%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1517.5=100%
2) x=0.575%
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:
1517.5/x=100%/0.575%
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 0.575% of 1517.5

1517.5/x=100/0.575
(1517.5/x)*x=(100/0.575)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1517.5=173.91304347826*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (173.91304347826) to get x
1517.5/173.91304347826=x
8.725625=x
x=8.725625

now we have:
0.575% of 1517.5=8.725625
