What is 19.71 percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1500=100%
2) x=19.71%
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:
1500/x=100%/19.71%
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 19.71% of 1500

1500/x=100/19.71
(1500/x)*x=(100/19.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1500=5.0735667174023*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0735667174023) to get x
1500/5.0735667174023=x
295.65=x
x=295.65

now we have:
19.71% of 1500=295.65
