What is 28500 percent of 0.425 - 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 0.425 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 0.425 is 100%, so we can write it down as 0.425=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 0.425=100%
2) x=28500%
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:
0.425/x=100%/28500%
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 28500% of 0.425

0.425/x=100/28500
(0.425/x)*x=(100/28500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
0.425=0.0035087719298246*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0035087719298246) to get x
0.425/0.0035087719298246=x
121.125=x
x=121.125

now we have:
28500% of 0.425=121.125
