What is 3870 percent of 3.25 - 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 3.25 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 3.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3870% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3870%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3.25=100%
2) x=3870%
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:
3.25/x=100%/3870%
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 3870% of 3.25

3.25/x=100/3870
(3.25/x)*x=(100/3870)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.25=0.025839793281654*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.025839793281654) to get x
3.25/0.025839793281654=x
125.775=x
x=125.775

now we have:
3870% of 3.25=125.775
