What is the number if…



15% of 500 is equal to 7.5 % of this number?

Verified Answer :

To solve this problem, we are going to set up an equation. However, first we need to convert the percentages to decimals by dividing by 100.

15% = 0.15 , 7.5% = 0.075

Now, we should substitute in our given information into our equation and let our unknown value be equal to the variable x.

0.15(500) = 0.075x

Then, we should simplify our equation by multiplying together the two factors on the left side of the equation.

75 = 0.075x

Finally, we should divide both sides of the equation by 0.075 to get the variable x alone.

x = 1000

Therefore, your answer is 1000.

Hope this helps!
