What is 2.725 percent of 110000 - 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 110000 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 110000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 110000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.725% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.725%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 110000=100%
2) x=2.725%
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:
110000/x=100%/2.725%
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 2.725% of 110000

110000/x=100/2.725
(110000/x)*x=(100/2.725)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
110000=36.697247706422*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (36.697247706422) to get x
110000/36.697247706422=x
2997.5=x
x=2997.5

now we have:
2.725% of 110000=2997.5
