What is 3.2 percent of 228125000 - 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 228125000 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 228125000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 228125000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 228125000=100%
2) x=3.2%
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:
228125000/x=100%/3.2%
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 3.2% of 228125000

228125000/x=100/3.2
(228125000/x)*x=(100/3.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
228125000=31.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.25) to get x
228125000/31.25=x
7300000=x
x=7300000

now we have:
3.2% of 228125000=7300000
