Answer:
310.5
Explanation:
To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume, that the number 270 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 270 is 100%, so we can write it down as 270=100%.
4. We know, that x is 115% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=115%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 270=100%
2) x=115%
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:
270/x=100%/115%
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 115% of 270
270/x=100/115
- we multiply both sides of the equation by x
- we divide both sides of the equation to get x
270/0.8695652173913=x
310.5=x
x=310.5
now we have:
115% of 270=310.5
