Question: What is 10. percent of 1500?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: Our output value is 1500.

Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1 above,$1500=100\%$.

Step 4: Similarly, $x=10.\%$.

Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:

$1500=100\%(1)$.

$x=10.\%(2)$.

Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both

equations have the same unit (%); we have

$\frac{1500}{x}=\frac{100\%}{10.\%}$

Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives

$\frac{x}{1500}=\frac{10.}{100}$

$\Rightarrow x=150$

Therefore, $10.\%$ of $1500$ is $150$
