What is 3750 percent of 11.5 - 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 11.5 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 11.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 11.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3750% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3750%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 11.5=100%
2) x=3750%
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:
11.5/x=100%/3750%
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 3750% of 11.5

11.5/x=100/3750
(11.5/x)*x=(100/3750)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
11.5=0.026666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.026666666666667) to get x
11.5/0.026666666666667=x
431.25=x
x=431.25

now we have:
3750% of 11.5=431.25
