What is 71 percent of 1275 - 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 1275 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 1275 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1275=100%.
4. We know, that x is 71% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=71%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1275=100%
2) x=71%
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:
1275/x=100%/71%
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 71% of 1275

1275/x=100/71
(1275/x)*x=(100/71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1275=1.4084507042254*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4084507042254) to get x
1275/1.4084507042254=x
905.25=x
x=905.25

now we have:
71% of 1275=905.25
