What is 105000 percent of 15500 - 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 15500 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 15500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 105000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=105000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15500=100%
2) x=105000%
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:
15500/x=100%/105000%
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 105000% of 15500

15500/x=100/105000
(15500/x)*x=(100/105000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15500=0.00095238095238095*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00095238095238095) to get x
15500/0.00095238095238095=x
16275000=x
x=16275000

now we have:
105000% of 15500=16275000
