What is 2.5 percent of 3238080 - 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 3238080 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 3238080 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3238080=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3238080=100%
2) x=2.5%
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:
3238080/x=100%/2.5%
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 2.5% of 3238080

3238080/x=100/2.5
(3238080/x)*x=(100/2.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3238080=40*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40) to get x
3238080/40=x
80952=x
x=80952

now we have:
2.5% of 3238080=80952
