What is 1750 percent of 14.5 - 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 14.5 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 14.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 14.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1750% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1750%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 14.5=100%
2) x=1750%
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:
14.5/x=100%/1750%
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 1750% of 14.5

14.5/x=100/1750
(14.5/x)*x=(100/1750)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
14.5=0.057142857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.057142857142857) to get x
14.5/0.057142857142857=x
253.75=x
x=253.75

now we have:
1750% of 14.5=253.75
