What is 17500 percent of 2275 - 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 2275 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 2275 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2275=100%.
4. We know, that x is 17500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2275=100%
2) x=17500%
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:
2275/x=100%/17500%
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 17500% of 2275

2275/x=100/17500
(2275/x)*x=(100/17500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2275=0.0057142857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0057142857142857) to get x
2275/0.0057142857142857=x
398125=x
x=398125

now we have:
17500% of 2275=398125
