What is 0.625 percent of 225000 - 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 225000 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 225000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 225000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 225000=100%
2) x=0.625%
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:
225000/x=100%/0.625%
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 0.625% of 225000

225000/x=100/0.625
(225000/x)*x=(100/0.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
225000=160*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (160) to get x
225000/160=x
1406.25=x
x=1406.25

now we have:
0.625% of 225000=1406.25
