What is 31.481 percent of 2000 - 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 2000 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 2000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.481% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.481%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2000=100%
2) x=31.481%
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:
2000/x=100%/31.481%
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 31.481% of 2000

2000/x=100/31.481
(2000/x)*x=(100/31.481)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2000=3.1765191702932*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1765191702932) to get x
2000/3.1765191702932=x
629.62=x
x=629.62

now we have:
31.481% of 2000=629.62
