What is 0.81 percent of 150000 - 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 150000 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 150000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 150000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.81% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.81%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 150000=100%
2) x=0.81%
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:
150000/x=100%/0.81%
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 0.81% of 150000

150000/x=100/0.81
(150000/x)*x=(100/0.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
150000=123.45679012346*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (123.45679012346) to get x
150000/123.45679012346=x
1215=x
x=1215

now we have:
0.81% of 150000=1215
