What is 10850 percent of 2.5 - 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 2.5 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 2.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10850% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10850%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=10850%
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:
2.5/x=100%/10850%
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 10850% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/10850
(2.5/x)*x=(100/10850)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=0.0092165898617512*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0092165898617512) to get x
2.5/0.0092165898617512=x
271.25=x
x=271.25

now we have:
10850% of 2.5=271.25
