What is 3.9375 percent of 55000 - 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 55000 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 55000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.9375% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.9375%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55000=100%
2) x=3.9375%
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:
55000/x=100%/3.9375%
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 3.9375% of 55000

55000/x=100/3.9375
(55000/x)*x=(100/3.9375)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55000=25.396825396825*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.396825396825) to get x
55000/25.396825396825=x
2165.625=x
x=2165.625

now we have:
3.9375% of 55000=2165.625
