What is 27.15 percent of 3488 - 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 3488 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 3488 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3488=100%.
4. We know, that x is 27.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=27.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3488=100%
2) x=27.15%
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:
3488/x=100%/27.15%
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 27.15% of 3488

3488/x=100/27.15
(3488/x)*x=(100/27.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3488=3.683241252302*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.683241252302) to get x
3488/3.683241252302=x
946.992=x
x=946.992

now we have:
27.15% of 3488=946.992
