What is 8.04 percent of 1500 - 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 1500 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 1500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.04% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.04%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1500=100%
2) x=8.04%
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:
1500/x=100%/8.04%
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 8.04% of 1500

1500/x=100/8.04
(1500/x)*x=(100/8.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1500=12.437810945274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.437810945274) to get x
1500/12.437810945274=x
120.6=x
x=120.6

now we have:
8.04% of 1500=120.6
