What is 14.875 percent of 21250 - 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 21250 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 21250 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21250=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21250=100%
2) x=14.875%
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:
21250/x=100%/14.875%
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 14.875% of 21250

21250/x=100/14.875
(21250/x)*x=(100/14.875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21250=6.7226890756303*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.7226890756303) to get x
21250/6.7226890756303=x
3160.9375=x
x=3160.9375

now we have:
14.875% of 21250=3160.9375
