What is 13500 percent of 1282.5 - 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 1282.5 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 1282.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1282.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1282.5=100%
2) x=13500%
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:
1282.5/x=100%/13500%
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 13500% of 1282.5

1282.5/x=100/13500
(1282.5/x)*x=(100/13500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1282.5=0.0074074074074074*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0074074074074074) to get x
1282.5/0.0074074074074074=x
173137.5=x
x=173137.5

now we have:
13500% of 1282.5=173137.5
