What is 31.5 percent of 32000 - 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 32000 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 32000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 32000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32000=100%
2) x=31.5%
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:
32000/x=100%/31.5%
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 31.5% of 32000

32000/x=100/31.5
(32000/x)*x=(100/31.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32000=3.1746031746032*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1746031746032) to get x
32000/3.1746031746032=x
10080=x
x=10080

now we have:
31.5% of 32000=10080
