What is 28750 percent of 36500 - 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 36500 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 36500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 36500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28750% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28750%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 36500=100%
2) x=28750%
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:
36500/x=100%/28750%
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 28750% of 36500

36500/x=100/28750
(36500/x)*x=(100/28750)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
36500=0.0034782608695652*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0034782608695652) to get x
36500/0.0034782608695652=x
10493750=x
x=10493750

now we have:
28750% of 36500=10493750
