What is 14.97 percent of 5875 - 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 5875 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 5875 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5875=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5875=100%
2) x=14.97%
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:
5875/x=100%/14.97%
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 14.97% of 5875

5875/x=100/14.97
(5875/x)*x=(100/14.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5875=6.6800267201069*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6800267201069) to get x
5875/6.6800267201069=x
879.4875=x
x=879.4875

now we have:
14.97% of 5875=879.4875
