What is 39.8 percent of 76000 - 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 76000 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 76000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 76000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 39.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=39.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 76000=100%
2) x=39.8%
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:
76000/x=100%/39.8%
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 39.8% of 76000

76000/x=100/39.8
(76000/x)*x=(100/39.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
76000=2.5125628140704*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5125628140704) to get x
76000/2.5125628140704=x
30248=x
x=30248

now we have:
39.8% of 76000=30248
