What is 159500 percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 159500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=159500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1=100%
2) x=159500%
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:
1/x=100%/159500%
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 159500% of 1

1/x=100/159500
(1/x)*x=(100/159500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1=0.0006269592476489*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0006269592476489) to get x
1/0.0006269592476489=x
1595=x
x=1595

now we have:
159500% of 1=1595
