What is 30.5 percent of 32500 - 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 32500 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 32500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 32500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32500=100%
2) x=30.5%
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:
32500/x=100%/30.5%
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 30.5% of 32500

32500/x=100/30.5
(32500/x)*x=(100/30.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32500=3.2786885245902*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2786885245902) to get x
32500/3.2786885245902=x
9912.5=x
x=9912.5

now we have:
30.5% of 32500=9912.5
