What is 11475 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 11475% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11475%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.5=100%
2) x=11475%
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%/11475%
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 11475% of 2.5

2.5/x=100/11475
(2.5/x)*x=(100/11475)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.5=0.0087145969498911*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0087145969498911) to get x
2.5/0.0087145969498911=x
286.875=x
x=286.875

now we have:
11475% of 2.5=286.875
