What is 23.15 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 23.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1500=100%
2) x=23.15%
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%/23.15%
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 23.15% of 1500

1500/x=100/23.15
(1500/x)*x=(100/23.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1500=4.3196544276458*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3196544276458) to get x
1500/4.3196544276458=x
347.25=x
x=347.25

now we have:
23.15% of 1500=347.25
