What is 2.88 percent of 380000 - 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 380000 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 380000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 380000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 380000=100%
2) x=2.88%
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:
380000/x=100%/2.88%
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 2.88% of 380000

380000/x=100/2.88
(380000/x)*x=(100/2.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
380000=34.722222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.722222222222) to get x
380000/34.722222222222=x
10944=x
x=10944

now we have:
2.88% of 380000=10944
