What is 31.75 percent of 388400 - 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 388400 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 388400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 388400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 388400=100%
2) x=31.75%
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:
388400/x=100%/31.75%
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 31.75% of 388400

388400/x=100/31.75
(388400/x)*x=(100/31.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
388400=3.1496062992126*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1496062992126) to get x
388400/3.1496062992126=x
123317=x
x=123317

now we have:
31.75% of 388400=123317
