What is 156.25 percent of 10000 - 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 10000 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 10000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 156.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=156.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10000=100%
2) x=156.25%
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:
10000/x=100%/156.25%
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 156.25% of 10000

10000/x=100/156.25
(10000/x)*x=(100/156.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10000=0.64*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.64) to get x
10000/0.64=x
15625=x
x=15625

now we have:
156.25% of 10000=15625
