What value divided by 75 equals 27?

How does it work?

Asking which value divided by 75 gives a result of 27 is equivalent to solving the following equation:

$\frac{x}{75}=27$

1. We need to isolate x, so multiply both sides by 75: $\frac{75x}{\mathrm{75}}=75\times 27$
2. $\frac{75x}{\mathrm{75}}$ is equivalent to $\frac{75}{\mathrm{75}}x$, which simplifies to $1x$ (or just $x$).
3. Thus: $x=75\times 27=2025$

So, if the divisor is 75 and the quotient is 27, the dividend is 2025.
