What is 3.2 percent of 770.36 - 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 770.36 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 770.36 is 100%, so we can write it down as 770.36=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) 770.36=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:
770.36/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 770.36

770.36/x=100/3.2
(770.36/x)*x=(100/3.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
770.36=31.25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.25) to get x
770.36/31.25=x
24.65152=x
x=24.65152

now we have:
3.2% of 770.36=24.65152
