What is 3.25 percent of 4400000 - 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 4400000 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 4400000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4400000=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) 4400000=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:
4400000/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 4400000

4400000/x=100/3.25
(4400000/x)*x=(100/3.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4400000=30.769230769231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.769230769231) to get x
4400000/30.769230769231=x
143000=x
x=143000

now we have:
3.25% of 4400000=143000
