What is 40.15 percent of 18750 - 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 18750 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 18750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 40.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=40.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18750=100%
2) x=40.15%
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:
18750/x=100%/40.15%
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 40.15% of 18750

18750/x=100/40.15
(18750/x)*x=(100/40.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18750=2.4906600249066*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4906600249066) to get x
18750/2.4906600249066=x
7528.125=x
x=7528.125

now we have:
40.15% of 18750=7528.125
