What is 17.7777 percent of 135000 - 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 135000 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 135000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 135000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17.7777% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.7777%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 135000=100%
2) x=17.7777%
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:
135000/x=100%/17.7777%
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 17.7777% of 135000

135000/x=100/17.7777
(135000/x)*x=(100/17.7777)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
135000=5.6250246094827*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6250246094827) to get x
135000/5.6250246094827=x
23999.895=x
x=23999.895

now we have:
17.7777% of 135000=23999.895
