Question

Looking for value of to understand what the result of changing x to 2.25%, 2.5%,2.75%, or 3%

Answer 1

I believe the tail-end of your query involved knowing various values of x if the percentage changed.

 

If 2.25% of x = 1,513,914,then x = 1,513,914 / 0.0225 = 67,285,066.67

 

If 2.5% of x = 1,513,914,then x = 1,513,914 / 0.025 = 60,556,560

 

If 2.75% of x = 1,513,914,then x = 1,513,914 / 0.0275 = 55,051,418.18

 

If 3% of x = 1,513,914,then x = 1,513,914 / 0.03 = 50,463,800

Answer 2

2% of x is the same as 0.02x.  Therefore,

 

0.02x = 1,513,914

 

x = 1,513,914 / 0.02 = 75,695,700
