What is 475 percent of 6255 - 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 6255 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 6255 is 100%, so we can write it down as 6255=100%.
4. We know, that x is 475% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=475%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 6255=100%
2) x=475%
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:
6255/x=100%/475%
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 475% of 6255

6255/x=100/475
(6255/x)*x=(100/475)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
6255=0.210526315789*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.210526315789) to get x
6255/0.210526315789=x
29711.25=x
x=29711.25

now we have:
475% of 6255=29711.25
