What is 2.83 percent of 104000 - 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 104000 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 104000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 104000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.83% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.83%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 104000=100%
2) x=2.83%
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:
104000/x=100%/2.83%
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 2.83% of 104000

104000/x=100/2.83
(104000/x)*x=(100/2.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
104000=35.335689045936*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.335689045936) to get x
104000/35.335689045936=x
2943.2=x
x=2943.2

now we have:
2.83% of 104000=2943.2
