What is 5.625 percent of 45000 - 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 45000 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 45000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 45000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.625% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.625%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 45000=100%
2) x=5.625%
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:
45000/x=100%/5.625%
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 5.625% of 45000

45000/x=100/5.625
(45000/x)*x=(100/5.625)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
45000=17.777777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.777777777778) to get x
45000/17.777777777778=x
2531.25=x
x=2531.25

now we have:
5.625% of 45000=2531.25
