What is 28.72 percent of 1046000000 - 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 1046000000 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 1046000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1046000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1046000000=100%
2) x=28.72%
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:
1046000000/x=100%/28.72%
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 28.72% of 1046000000

1046000000/x=100/28.72
(1046000000/x)*x=(100/28.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1046000000=3.4818941504178*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4818941504178) to get x
1046000000/3.4818941504178=x
300411200=x
x=300411200

now we have:
28.72% of 1046000000=300411200
