What is 3.76 percent of 60000 - 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 60000 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 60000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 60000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 60000=100%
2) x=3.76%
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:
60000/x=100%/3.76%
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 3.76% of 60000

60000/x=100/3.76
(60000/x)*x=(100/3.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
60000=26.595744680851*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.595744680851) to get x
60000/26.595744680851=x
2256=x
x=2256

now we have:
3.76% of 60000=2256
