What is 1275 percent of 475 - 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 475 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 475 is 100%, so we can write it down as 475=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1275% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1275%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 475=100%
2) x=1275%
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:
475/x=100%/1275%
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 1275% of 475

475/x=100/1275
(475/x)*x=(100/1275)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
475=0.07843137254902*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.07843137254902) to get x
475/0.07843137254902=x
6056.25=x
x=6056.25

now we have:
1275% of 475=6056.25
