What is 7000 percent of 28.5 - 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 28.5 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 28.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28.5=100%
2) x=7000%
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:
28.5/x=100%/7000%
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 7000% of 28.5

28.5/x=100/7000
(28.5/x)*x=(100/7000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28.5=0.014285714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.014285714285714) to get x
28.5/0.014285714285714=x
1995=x
x=1995

now we have:
7000% of 28.5=1995
