What is 0.97 percent of 140750 - 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 140750 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 140750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 140750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 140750=100%
2) x=0.97%
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:
140750/x=100%/0.97%
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 0.97% of 140750

140750/x=100/0.97
(140750/x)*x=(100/0.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
140750=103.09278350515*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (103.09278350515) to get x
140750/103.09278350515=x
1365.275=x
x=1365.275

now we have:
0.97% of 140750=1365.275
