What is 3.02 percent of 20000 - 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 20000 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 20000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.02% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.02%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20000=100%
2) x=3.02%
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:
20000/x=100%/3.02%
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 3.02% of 20000

20000/x=100/3.02
(20000/x)*x=(100/3.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20000=33.112582781457*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.112582781457) to get x
20000/33.112582781457=x
604=x
x=604

now we have:
3.02% of 20000=604
