What is 8.75 percent of 515.45 - 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 515.45 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 515.45 is 100%, so we can write it down as 515.45=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 515.45=100%
2) x=8.75%
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:
515.45/x=100%/8.75%
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 8.75% of 515.45

515.45/x=100/8.75
(515.45/x)*x=(100/8.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
515.45=11.4285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.4285714286) to get x
515.45/11.4285714286=x
45.101875=x
x=45.101875

now we have:
8.75% of 515.45=45.101875
