What is 30.23 percent of 120000 - 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 120000 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 120000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 120000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30.23% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30.23%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 120000=100%
2) x=30.23%
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:
120000/x=100%/30.23%
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 30.23% of 120000

120000/x=100/30.23
(120000/x)*x=(100/30.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
120000=3.3079722130334*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3079722130334) to get x
120000/3.3079722130334=x
36276=x
x=36276

now we have:
30.23% of 120000=36276
