What is 20.2 percent of 320000 - 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 320000 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 320000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 320000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 20.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=20.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 320000=100%
2) x=20.2%
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:
320000/x=100%/20.2%
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 20.2% of 320000

320000/x=100/20.2
(320000/x)*x=(100/20.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
320000=4.950495049505*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.950495049505) to get x
320000/4.950495049505=x
64640=x
x=64640

now we have:
20.2% of 320000=64640
