What is 14.125 percent of 320000 - 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 320000 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 320000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 320000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.125% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.125%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 320000=100%
2) x=14.125%
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:
320000/x=100%/14.125%
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 14.125% of 320000

320000/x=100/14.125
(320000/x)*x=(100/14.125)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
320000=7.0796460176991*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.0796460176991) to get x
320000/7.0796460176991=x
45200=x
x=45200

now we have:
14.125% of 320000=45200
