What is 55000 percent of 31500 - 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 31500 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 31500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 55000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=55000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31500=100%
2) x=55000%
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:
31500/x=100%/55000%
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 55000% of 31500

31500/x=100/55000
(31500/x)*x=(100/55000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31500=0.0018181818181818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0018181818181818) to get x
31500/0.0018181818181818=x
17325000=x
x=17325000

now we have:
55000% of 31500=17325000
