What is 10000 percent of 23500 - 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 23500 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 23500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 10000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=10000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23500=100%
2) x=10000%
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:
23500/x=100%/10000%
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 10000% of 23500

23500/x=100/10000
(23500/x)*x=(100/10000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23500=0.01*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.01) to get x
23500/0.01=x
2350000=x
x=2350000

now we have:
10000% of 23500=2350000
