What is 2.52 percent of 7500 - 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 7500 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 7500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.52% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.52%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7500=100%
2) x=2.52%
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:
7500/x=100%/2.52%
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 2.52% of 7500

7500/x=100/2.52
(7500/x)*x=(100/2.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7500=39.68253968254*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.68253968254) to get x
7500/39.68253968254=x
189=x
x=189

now we have:
2.52% of 7500=189
