What is 14.49 percent of 8500 - 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 8500 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 8500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 8500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.49% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.49%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 8500=100%
2) x=14.49%
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:
8500/x=100%/14.49%
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 14.49% of 8500

8500/x=100/14.49
(8500/x)*x=(100/14.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
8500=6.9013112491373*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9013112491373) to get x
8500/6.9013112491373=x
1231.65=x
x=1231.65

now we have:
14.49% of 8500=1231.65
