What is 1500 percent of 1590 - 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 1590 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 1590 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1590=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1590=100%
2) x=1500%
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:
1590/x=100%/1500%
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 1500% of 1590

1590/x=100/1500
(1590/x)*x=(100/1500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1590=0.066666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.066666666666667) to get x
1590/0.066666666666667=x
23850=x
x=23850

now we have:
1500% of 1590=23850
