What is 27.25 percent of 1250 - 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 1250 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 1250 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1250=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1250=100%
2) x=27.25%
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:
1250/x=100%/27.25%
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 27.25% of 1250

1250/x=100/27.25
(1250/x)*x=(100/27.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1250=3.6697247706422*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6697247706422) to get x
1250/3.6697247706422=x
340.625=x
x=340.625

now we have:
27.25% of 1250=340.625
