What is 1.25 percent of 2523.92 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 2523.92 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 2523.92 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2523.92=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2523.92=100%
2) x=1.25%
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:
2523.92/x=100%/1.25%
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 1.25% of 2523.92

2523.92/x=100/1.25
(2523.92/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2523.92=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
2523.92/80=x
31.549=x
x=31.549

now we have:
1.25% of 2523.92=31.549
