10500:100 = 105
Now we have: 75 percent of 140 = 105
Question: What is 75 percent of 140?
Percentage solution with steps:
Step 1: Our output value is 140.
Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1 above,$140=100\%$.
Step 4: Similarly, $x=75\%$.
Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:
$140=100\%(1)$.
$x=75\%(2)$.
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
$\frac{140}{x}=\frac{100\%}{75\%}$
Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives
$\frac{x}{140}=\frac{75}{100}$
$\Rightarrow x=105$
Therefore, 75\% of 140is 105
