What is 1085 percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1085% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1085%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1500=100%
2) x=1085%
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:
1500/x=100%/1085%
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 1085% of 1500

1500/x=100/1085
(1500/x)*x=(100/1085)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1500=0.092165898617512*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.092165898617512) to get x
1500/0.092165898617512=x
16275=x
x=16275

now we have:
1085% of 1500=16275
