What is 16.8 percent of 43200000 - 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 43200000 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 43200000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 43200000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 43200000=100%
2) x=16.8%
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:
43200000/x=100%/16.8%
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 16.8% of 43200000

43200000/x=100/16.8
(43200000/x)*x=(100/16.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
43200000=5.952380952381*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.952380952381) to get x
43200000/5.952380952381=x
7257600=x
x=7257600

now we have:
16.8% of 43200000=7257600
