What is 1500 percent of 9239 - 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 9239 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 9239 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9239=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) 9239=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:
9239/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 9239

9239/x=100/1500
(9239/x)*x=(100/1500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9239=0.066666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.066666666666667) to get x
9239/0.066666666666667=x
138585=x
x=138585

now we have:
1500% of 9239=138585
