What is 8.92857142857 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 8.92857142857% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.92857142857%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1500=100%
2) x=8.92857142857%
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%/8.92857142857%
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 8.92857142857% of 1500

1500/x=100/8.92857142857
(1500/x)*x=(100/8.92857142857)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1500=11.200000000002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.200000000002) to get x
1500/11.200000000002=x
133.92857142855=x
x=133.92857142855

now we have:
8.92857142857% of 1500=133.92857142855
