What is 1.25 percent of 43784 - 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 43784 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 43784 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43784=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) 43784=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:
43784/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 43784

43784/x=100/1.25
(43784/x)*x=(100/1.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
43784=80*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80) to get x
43784/80=x
547.3=x
x=547.3

now we have:
1.25% of 43784=547.3
