What is 145 percent of 150000000 - 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 150000000 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 150000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 150000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 145% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=145%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 150000000=100%
2) x=145%
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:
150000000/x=100%/145%
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 145% of 150000000

150000000/x=100/145
(150000000/x)*x=(100/145)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
150000000=0.68965517241379*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.68965517241379) to get x
150000000/0.68965517241379=x
217500000=x
x=217500000

now we have:
145% of 150000000=217500000
