What is 15 percent of 4376750 - 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 4376750 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 4376750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4376750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4376750=100%
2) x=15%
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:
4376750/x=100%/15%
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 15% of 4376750

4376750/x=100/15
(4376750/x)*x=(100/15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4376750=6.6666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6666666666667) to get x
4376750/6.6666666666667=x
656512.5=x
x=656512.5

now we have:
15% of 4376750=656512.5
