What is 52.5 percent of 69990 - 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 69990 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 69990 is 100%, so we can write it down as 69990=100%.
4. We know, that x is 52.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=52.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 69990=100%
2) x=52.5%
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:
69990/x=100%/52.5%
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 52.5% of 69990

69990/x=100/52.5
(69990/x)*x=(100/52.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
69990=1.9047619047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9047619047619) to get x
69990/1.9047619047619=x
36744.75=x
x=36744.75

now we have:
52.5% of 69990=36744.75
