What is 14.95 percent of 7.5 - 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 7.5 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 7.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.5=100%
2) x=14.95%
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:
7.5/x=100%/14.95%
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 14.95% of 7.5

7.5/x=100/14.95
(7.5/x)*x=(100/14.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.5=6.6889632107023*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6889632107023) to get x
7.5/6.6889632107023=x
1.12125=x
x=1.12125

now we have:
14.95% of 7.5=1.12125
