What is 248.75 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 248.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=248.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1500=100%
2) x=248.75%
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%/248.75%
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 248.75% of 1500

1500/x=100/248.75
(1500/x)*x=(100/248.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1500=0.40201005025126*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.40201005025126) to get x
1500/0.40201005025126=x
3731.25=x
x=3731.25

now we have:
248.75% of 1500=3731.25
