What is 3 percent of 312305 - 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 312305 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 312305 is 100%, so we can write it down as 312305=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 312305=100%
2) x=3%
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:
312305/x=100%/3%
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 3% of 312305

312305/x=100/3
(312305/x)*x=(100/3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
312305=33.333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.333333333333) to get x
312305/33.333333333333=x
9369.15=x
x=9369.15

now we have:
3% of 312305=9369.15
