What is 5.432 percent of 328000000 - 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 328000000 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 328000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 328000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.432% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.432%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 328000000=100%
2) x=5.432%
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:
328000000/x=100%/5.432%
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 5.432% of 328000000

328000000/x=100/5.432
(328000000/x)*x=(100/5.432)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
328000000=18.40942562592*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.40942562592) to get x
328000000/18.40942562592=x
17816960=x
x=17816960

now we have:
5.432% of 328000000=17816960
