What is 2531 percent of 12.5 - 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 12.5 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 12.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2531% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2531%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12.5=100%
2) x=2531%
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:
12.5/x=100%/2531%
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 2531% of 12.5

12.5/x=100/2531
(12.5/x)*x=(100/2531)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12.5=0.039510075069143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.039510075069143) to get x
12.5/0.039510075069143=x
316.375=x
x=316.375

now we have:
2531% of 12.5=316.375
