What is 3.21 percent of 75500 - 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 75500 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 75500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.21% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.21%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75500=100%
2) x=3.21%
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:
75500/x=100%/3.21%
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 3.21% of 75500

75500/x=100/3.21
(75500/x)*x=(100/3.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75500=31.152647975078*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.152647975078) to get x
75500/31.152647975078=x
2423.55=x
x=2423.55

now we have:
3.21% of 75500=2423.55
