What is 1075 percent of 1509 - 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 1509 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 1509 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1509=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1075% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1075%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1509=100%
2) x=1075%
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:
1509/x=100%/1075%
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 1075% of 1509

1509/x=100/1075
(1509/x)*x=(100/1075)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1509=0.093023255813953*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.093023255813953) to get x
1509/0.093023255813953=x
16221.75=x
x=16221.75

now we have:
1075% of 1509=16221.75
