What is 1025 percent of 215 - 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 215 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 215 is 100%, so we can write it down as 215=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1025% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1025%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 215=100%
2) x=1025%
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:
215/x=100%/1025%
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 1025% of 215

215/x=100/1025
(215/x)*x=(100/1025)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
215=0.097560975609756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.097560975609756) to get x
215/0.097560975609756=x
2203.75=x
x=2203.75

now we have:
1025% of 215=2203.75
