What is 14.75 percent of 310 - 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 310 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 310 is 100%, so we can write it down as 310=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) 310=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:
310/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 310

310/x=100/14.75
(310/x)*x=(100/14.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
310=6.7796610169492*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.7796610169492) to get x
310/6.7796610169492=x
45.725=x
x=45.725

now we have:
14.75% of 310=45.725
