What is 3.2 percent of 760000 - 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 760000 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 760000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 760000=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) 760000=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:
760000/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 760000

760000/x=100/3.2
(760000/x)*x=(100/3.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
760000=31.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.25) to get x
760000/31.25=x
24320=x
x=24320

now we have:
3.2% of 760000=24320
