What is 48.15 percent of 72000 - 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 72000 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 72000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 72000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 48.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=48.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 72000=100%
2) x=48.15%
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:
72000/x=100%/48.15%
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 48.15% of 72000

72000/x=100/48.15
(72000/x)*x=(100/48.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
72000=2.0768431983385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0768431983385) to get x
72000/2.0768431983385=x
34668=x
x=34668

now we have:
48.15% of 72000=34668
