What is 15.09 percent of 15000 - 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 15000 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 15000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.09% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.09%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15000=100%
2) x=15.09%
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:
15000/x=100%/15.09%
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 15.09% of 15000

15000/x=100/15.09
(15000/x)*x=(100/15.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15000=6.6269052352551*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6269052352551) to get x
15000/6.6269052352551=x
2263.5=x
x=2263.5

now we have:
15.09% of 15000=2263.5
