What is 75 percent of 2719 - 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 2719 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 2719 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2719=100%.
4. We know, that x is 75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2719=100%
2) x=75%
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:
2719/x=100%/75%
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 75% of 2719

2719/x=100/75
(2719/x)*x=(100/75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2719=1.3333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3333333333333) to get x
2719/1.3333333333333=x
2039.25=x
x=2039.25

now we have:
75% of 2719=2039.25
