What is 3.96 percent of 31300 - 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 31300 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 31300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31300=100%
2) x=3.96%
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:
31300/x=100%/3.96%
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 3.96% of 31300

31300/x=100/3.96
(31300/x)*x=(100/3.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31300=25.252525252525*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.252525252525) to get x
31300/25.252525252525=x
1239.48=x
x=1239.48

now we have:
3.96% of 31300=1239.48
