What is 15.49 percent of 127500 - 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 127500 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 127500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 127500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15.49% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15.49%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 127500=100%
2) x=15.49%
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:
127500/x=100%/15.49%
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 15.49% of 127500

127500/x=100/15.49
(127500/x)*x=(100/15.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
127500=6.4557779212395*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.4557779212395) to get x
127500/6.4557779212395=x
19749.75=x
x=19749.75

now we have:
15.49% of 127500=19749.75
