What is 1550 percent of 116.25 - 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 116.25 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 116.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 116.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1550% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1550%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 116.25=100%
2) x=1550%
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:
116.25/x=100%/1550%
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 1550% of 116.25

116.25/x=100/1550
(116.25/x)*x=(100/1550)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
116.25=0.064516129032258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.064516129032258) to get x
116.25/0.064516129032258=x
1801.875=x
x=1801.875

now we have:
1550% of 116.25=1801.875
