What is 11625 percent of 875 - 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 875 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 875 is 100%, so we can write it down as 875=100%.
4. We know, that x is 11625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=11625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 875=100%
2) x=11625%
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:
875/x=100%/11625%
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 11625% of 875

875/x=100/11625
(875/x)*x=(100/11625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
875=0.0086021505376344*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0086021505376344) to get x
875/0.0086021505376344=x
101718.75=x
x=101718.75

now we have:
11625% of 875=101718.75
