What is 10.17 percent of 7500 - 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 7500 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 7500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10.17% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10.17%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7500=100%
2) x=10.17%
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:
7500/x=100%/10.17%
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 10.17% of 7500

7500/x=100/10.17
(7500/x)*x=(100/10.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7500=9.8328416912488*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.8328416912488) to get x
7500/9.8328416912488=x
762.75=x
x=762.75

now we have:
10.17% of 7500=762.75
