What is 18.75 percent of 9700 - 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 9700 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 9700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 18.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9700=100%
2) x=18.75%
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:
9700/x=100%/18.75%
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 18.75% of 9700

9700/x=100/18.75
(9700/x)*x=(100/18.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9700=5.3333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3333333333333) to get x
9700/5.3333333333333=x
1818.75=x
x=1818.75

now we have:
18.75% of 9700=1818.75
