What is 7.25 percent of 211000 - 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 211000 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 211000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 211000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 211000=100%
2) x=7.25%
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:
211000/x=100%/7.25%
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 7.25% of 211000

211000/x=100/7.25
(211000/x)*x=(100/7.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
211000=13.793103448276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.793103448276) to get x
211000/13.793103448276=x
15297.5=x
x=15297.5

now we have:
7.25% of 211000=15297.5
