What is 3.125 percent of 7300 - 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 7300 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 7300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7300=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) 7300=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:
7300/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 7300

7300/x=100/3.125
(7300/x)*x=(100/3.125)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7300=32*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32) to get x
7300/32=x
228.125=x
x=228.125

now we have:
3.125% of 7300=228.125
