What is 36000 percent of 38500 - 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 38500 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 38500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 36000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=36000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38500=100%
2) x=36000%
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:
38500/x=100%/36000%
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 36000% of 38500

38500/x=100/36000
(38500/x)*x=(100/36000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38500=0.0027777777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0027777777777778) to get x
38500/0.0027777777777778=x
13860000=x
x=13860000

now we have:
36000% of 38500=13860000
