What is 115% of 270 ?

310.5

Step-by-step 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
