What is 3.648 percent of 38735 - 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 38735 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 38735 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38735=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.648% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.648%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38735=100%
2) x=3.648%
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:
38735/x=100%/3.648%
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 3.648% of 38735

38735/x=100/3.648
(38735/x)*x=(100/3.648)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38735=27.412280701754*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.412280701754) to get x
38735/27.412280701754=x
1413.0528=x
x=1413.0528

now we have:
3.648% of 38735=1413.0528
