What is 3.125 percent of 1950 - 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 1950 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 1950 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1950=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.125% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.125%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1950=100%
2) x=3.125%
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:
1950/x=100%/3.125%
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 3.125% of 1950

1950/x=100/3.125
(1950/x)*x=(100/3.125)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1950=32*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32) to get x
1950/32=x
60.9375=x
x=60.9375

now we have:
3.125% of 1950=60.9375
