What is 22500 percent of 15500 - 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 15500 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 15500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 15500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 22500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=22500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 15500=100%
2) x=22500%
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:
15500/x=100%/22500%
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 22500% of 15500

15500/x=100/22500
(15500/x)*x=(100/22500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
15500=0.0044444444444444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0044444444444444) to get x
15500/0.0044444444444444=x
3487500=x
x=3487500

now we have:
22500% of 15500=3487500
