What is 31000 percent of 48000 - 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 48000 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 48000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 48000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 31000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=31000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 48000=100%
2) x=31000%
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:
48000/x=100%/31000%
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 31000% of 48000

48000/x=100/31000
(48000/x)*x=(100/31000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
48000=0.0032258064516129*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0032258064516129) to get x
48000/0.0032258064516129=x
14880000=x
x=14880000

now we have:
31000% of 48000=14880000
