What is 38.75 percent of 1260 - 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 1260 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 1260 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1260=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1260=100%
2) x=38.75%
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:
1260/x=100%/38.75%
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 38.75% of 1260

1260/x=100/38.75
(1260/x)*x=(100/38.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1260=2.5806451612903*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5806451612903) to get x
1260/2.5806451612903=x
488.25=x
x=488.25

now we have:
38.75% of 1260=488.25
