What is 36500 percent of 115 - 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 115 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 115 is 100%, so we can write it down as 115=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 115=100%
2) x=36500%
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:
115/x=100%/36500%
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 36500% of 115

115/x=100/36500
(115/x)*x=(100/36500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
115=0.0027397260273973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0027397260273973) to get x
115/0.0027397260273973=x
41975=x
x=41975

now we have:
36500% of 115=41975
