What is 13.75 percent of 975000 - 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 975000 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 975000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 975000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 975000=100%
2) x=13.75%
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:
975000/x=100%/13.75%
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 13.75% of 975000

975000/x=100/13.75
(975000/x)*x=(100/13.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
975000=7.2727272727273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2727272727273) to get x
975000/7.2727272727273=x
134062.5=x
x=134062.5

now we have:
13.75% of 975000=134062.5
