What is 131.25 percent of 304 - 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 304 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 304 is 100%, so we can write it down as 304=100%.
4. We know, that x is 131.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=131.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 304=100%
2) x=131.25%
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:
304/x=100%/131.25%
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 131.25% of 304

304/x=100/131.25
(304/x)*x=(100/131.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
304=0.76190476190476*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.76190476190476) to get x
304/0.76190476190476=x
399=x
x=399

now we have:
131.25% of 304=399
