What is 0.74 percent of 1275 - 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 1275 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 1275 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1275=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1275=100%
2) x=0.74%
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:
1275/x=100%/0.74%
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 0.74% of 1275

1275/x=100/0.74
(1275/x)*x=(100/0.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1275=135.13513513514*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (135.13513513514) to get x
1275/135.13513513514=x
9.435=x
x=9.435

now we have:
0.74% of 1275=9.435
