What is 3.227 percent of 510 - 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 510 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 510 is 100%, so we can write it down as 510=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.227% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.227%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 510=100%
2) x=3.227%
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:
510/x=100%/3.227%
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 3.227% of 510

510/x=100/3.227
(510/x)*x=(100/3.227)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
510=30.98853424233*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.98853424233) to get x
510/30.98853424233=x
16.4577=x
x=16.4577

now we have:
3.227% of 510=16.4577
