What is 1.25 percent of 52715 - 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 52715 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 52715 is 100%, so we can write it down as 52715=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 52715=100%
2) x=1.25%
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:
52715/x=100%/1.25%
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 1.25% of 52715

52715/x=100/1.25
(52715/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
52715=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
52715/80=x
658.9375=x
x=658.9375

now we have:
1.25% of 52715=658.9375
