Answer 2

Answer:

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 262.5 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 262.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 262.5=100%.

4. We know, that x is 37.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=37.5%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 262.5=100%

2) x=37.5%

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:

262.5/x=100%/37.5%

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 37.5% of 262.5

262.5/x=100/37.5

(262.5/x)*x=(100/37.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

262.5=2.6666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6666666666667) to get x

262.5/2.6666666666667=x

98.4375=x

x=98.4375

now we have:

37.5% of 262.5=98.4375
