What is 1.525 percent of 3250 - 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 3250 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 3250 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3250=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.525% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.525%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3250=100%
2) x=1.525%
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:
3250/x=100%/1.525%
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 1.525% of 3250

3250/x=100/1.525
(3250/x)*x=(100/1.525)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3250=65.573770491803*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (65.573770491803) to get x
3250/65.573770491803=x
49.5625=x
x=49.5625

now we have:
1.525% of 3250=49.5625
