What is 218000 percent of 7.5 - 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 7.5 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 7.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 218000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=218000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.5=100%
2) x=218000%
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:
7.5/x=100%/218000%
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 218000% of 7.5

7.5/x=100/218000
(7.5/x)*x=(100/218000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.5=0.00045871559633028*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00045871559633028) to get x
7.5/0.00045871559633028=x
16350=x
x=16350

now we have:
218000% of 7.5=16350
