What is 2925 percent of 5850 - 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 5850 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 5850 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5850=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2925% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2925%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5850=100%
2) x=2925%
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:
5850/x=100%/2925%
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 2925% of 5850

5850/x=100/2925
(5850/x)*x=(100/2925)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5850=0.034188034188034*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.034188034188034) to get x
5850/0.034188034188034=x
171112.5=x
x=171112.5

now we have:
2925% of 5850=171112.5
