What is 252.5 percent of 600 - 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 600 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 600 is 100%, so we can write it down as 600=100%.
4. We know, that x is 252.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=252.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 600=100%
2) x=252.5%
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:
600/x=100%/252.5%
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 252.5% of 600

600/x=100/252.5
(600/x)*x=(100/252.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
600=0.3960396039604*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.3960396039604) to get x
600/0.3960396039604=x
1515=x
x=1515

now we have:
252.5% of 600=1515
