What is 875 percent of 5775 - 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 5775 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 5775 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5775=100%.
4. We know, that x is 875% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=875%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5775=100%
2) x=875%
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:
5775/x=100%/875%
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 875% of 5775

5775/x=100/875
(5775/x)*x=(100/875)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5775=0.11428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11428571428571) to get x
5775/0.11428571428571=x
50531.25=x
x=50531.25

now we have:
875% of 5775=50531.25
