What is 22.85 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 22.85% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=22.85%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7500=100%
2) x=22.85%
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%/22.85%
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 22.85% of 7500

7500/x=100/22.85
(7500/x)*x=(100/22.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7500=4.3763676148796*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3763676148796) to get x
7500/4.3763676148796=x
1713.75=x
x=1713.75

now we have:
22.85% of 7500=1713.75
