What is 3.23 percent of 720 - 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 720 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 720 is 100%, so we can write it down as 720=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.23% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.23%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 720=100%
2) x=3.23%
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:
720/x=100%/3.23%
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 3.23% of 720

720/x=100/3.23
(720/x)*x=(100/3.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
720=30.959752321981*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.959752321981) to get x
720/30.959752321981=x
23.256=x
x=23.256

now we have:
3.23% of 720=23.256
