What is 1.88 percent of 3000 - 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 3000 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 3000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3000=100%
2) x=1.88%
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:
3000/x=100%/1.88%
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 1.88% of 3000

3000/x=100/1.88
(3000/x)*x=(100/1.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3000=53.191489361702*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (53.191489361702) to get x
3000/53.191489361702=x
56.4=x
x=56.4

now we have:
1.88% of 3000=56.4
