What is 1.4285 percent of 350000 - 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 350000 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 350000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 350000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.4285% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.4285%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 350000=100%
2) x=1.4285%
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:
350000/x=100%/1.4285%
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 1.4285% of 350000

350000/x=100/1.4285
(350000/x)*x=(100/1.4285)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
350000=70.003500175009*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (70.003500175009) to get x
350000/70.003500175009=x
4999.75=x
x=4999.75

now we have:
1.4285% of 350000=4999.75
