What is 73500 percent of 157500 - 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 157500 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 157500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 157500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 73500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=73500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 157500=100%
2) x=73500%
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:
157500/x=100%/73500%
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 73500% of 157500

157500/x=100/73500
(157500/x)*x=(100/73500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
157500=0.0013605442176871*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0013605442176871) to get x
157500/0.0013605442176871=x
115762500=x
x=115762500

now we have:
73500% of 157500=115762500
