What is 3.2 percent of 28820 - 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 28820 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 28820 is 100%, so we can write it down as 28820=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) 28820=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:
28820/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 28820

28820/x=100/3.2
(28820/x)*x=(100/3.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
28820=31.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.25) to get x
28820/31.25=x
922.24=x
x=922.24

now we have:
3.2% of 28820=922.24
