What is 1.4925 percent of 500 - 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 500 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 500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.4925% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.4925%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 500=100%
2) x=1.4925%
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:
500/x=100%/1.4925%
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 1.4925% of 500

500/x=100/1.4925
(500/x)*x=(100/1.4925)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
500=67.001675041876*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.001675041876) to get x
500/67.001675041876=x
7.4625=x
x=7.4625

now we have:
1.4925% of 500=7.4625
