What is 21250 percent of 28500 - 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 28500 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 28500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21250% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21250%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 28500=100%
2) x=21250%
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:
28500/x=100%/21250%
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 21250% of 28500

28500/x=100/21250
(28500/x)*x=(100/21250)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28500=0.0047058823529412*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0047058823529412) to get x
28500/0.0047058823529412=x
6056250=x
x=6056250

now we have:
21250% of 28500=6056250
