What is 214.5 percent of 225 - 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 225 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 225 is 100%, so we can write it down as 225=100%.
4. We know, that x is 214.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=214.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 225=100%
2) x=214.5%
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:
225/x=100%/214.5%
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 214.5% of 225

225/x=100/214.5
(225/x)*x=(100/214.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
225=0.46620046620047*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.46620046620047) to get x
225/0.46620046620047=x
482.625=x
x=482.625

now we have:
214.5% of 225=482.625
