What is 35.68 percent of 480000 - 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 480000 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 480000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 480000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.68% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.68%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 480000=100%
2) x=35.68%
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:
480000/x=100%/35.68%
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 35.68% of 480000

480000/x=100/35.68
(480000/x)*x=(100/35.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
480000=2.8026905829596*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8026905829596) to get x
480000/2.8026905829596=x
171264=x
x=171264

now we have:
35.68% of 480000=171264
