What is 1550 percent of 2500 - 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 2500 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 2500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2500=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) 2500=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:
2500/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 2500

2500/x=100/1550
(2500/x)*x=(100/1550)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2500=0.0645161290323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0645161290323) to get x
2500/0.0645161290323=x
38750=x
x=38750

now we have:
1550% of 2500=38750
