What is 81.5 percent of 750 - 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 750 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 750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 81.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=81.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 750=100%
2) x=81.5%
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:
750/x=100%/81.5%
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 81.5% of 750

750/x=100/81.5
(750/x)*x=(100/81.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
750=1.2269938650307*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2269938650307) to get x
750/1.2269938650307=x
611.25=x
x=611.25

now we have:
81.5% of 750=611.25
