What is 3.25 percent of 2300000 - 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 2300000 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 2300000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2300000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2300000=100%
2) x=3.25%
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:
2300000/x=100%/3.25%
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 3.25% of 2300000

2300000/x=100/3.25
(2300000/x)*x=(100/3.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2300000=30.769230769231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.769230769231) to get x
2300000/30.769230769231=x
74750=x
x=74750

now we have:
3.25% of 2300000=74750
