What is 15000 percent of 101500 - 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 101500 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 101500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 101500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 15000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=15000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 101500=100%
2) x=15000%
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:
101500/x=100%/15000%
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 15000% of 101500

101500/x=100/15000
(101500/x)*x=(100/15000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
101500=0.0066666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0066666666666667) to get x
101500/0.0066666666666667=x
15225000=x
x=15225000

now we have:
15000% of 101500=15225000
