What is 2.27 percent of 3120 - 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 3120 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 3120 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3120=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.27% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.27%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3120=100%
2) x=2.27%
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:
3120/x=100%/2.27%
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 2.27% of 3120

3120/x=100/2.27
(3120/x)*x=(100/2.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3120=44.052863436123*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.052863436123) to get x
3120/44.052863436123=x
70.824=x
x=70.824

now we have:
2.27% of 3120=70.824
