What is 1208 percent of 62500 - 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 62500 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 62500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 62500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1208% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1208%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 62500=100%
2) x=1208%
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:
62500/x=100%/1208%
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 1208% of 62500

62500/x=100/1208
(62500/x)*x=(100/1208)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
62500=0.082781456953642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.082781456953642) to get x
62500/0.082781456953642=x
755000=x
x=755000

now we have:
1208% of 62500=755000
