What is 7500 percent of 17.5 - 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 17.5 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 17.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17.5=100%
2) x=7500%
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:
17.5/x=100%/7500%
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 7500% of 17.5

17.5/x=100/7500
(17.5/x)*x=(100/7500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17.5=0.013333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.013333333333333) to get x
17.5/0.013333333333333=x
1312.5=x
x=1312.5

now we have:
7500% of 17.5=1312.5
