What is 14.75 percent of 3000000 - 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 3000000 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 3000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3000000=100%
2) x=14.75%
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:
3000000/x=100%/14.75%
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 14.75% of 3000000

3000000/x=100/14.75
(3000000/x)*x=(100/14.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3000000=6.7796610169492*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.7796610169492) to get x
3000000/6.7796610169492=x
442500=x
x=442500

now we have:
14.75% of 3000000=442500
