What is 5.475 percent of 30000 - 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 30000 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 30000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 30000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.475% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.475%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 30000=100%
2) x=5.475%
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:
30000/x=100%/5.475%
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 5.475% of 30000

30000/x=100/5.475
(30000/x)*x=(100/5.475)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
30000=18.264840182648*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.264840182648) to get x
30000/18.264840182648=x
1642.5=x
x=1642.5

now we have:
5.475% of 30000=1642.5
