What is 43.75 percent of 1072 - 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 1072 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 1072 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1072=100%.
4. We know, that x is 43.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=43.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1072=100%
2) x=43.75%
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:
1072/x=100%/43.75%
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 43.75% of 1072

1072/x=100/43.75
(1072/x)*x=(100/43.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1072=2.2857142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2857142857143) to get x
1072/2.2857142857143=x
469=x
x=469

now we have:
43.75% of 1072=469
