What is 3850 percent of 17250 - 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 17250 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 17250 is 100%, so we can write it down as 17250=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3850% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3850%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 17250=100%
2) x=3850%
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:
17250/x=100%/3850%
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 3850% of 17250

17250/x=100/3850
(17250/x)*x=(100/3850)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
17250=0.025974025974026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.025974025974026) to get x
17250/0.025974025974026=x
664125=x
x=664125

now we have:
3850% of 17250=664125
