What is 6.3 percent of 32400 - 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 32400 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 32400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 32400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 32400=100%
2) x=6.3%
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:
32400/x=100%/6.3%
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 6.3% of 32400

32400/x=100/6.3
(32400/x)*x=(100/6.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
32400=15.873015873016*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.873015873016) to get x
32400/15.873015873016=x
2041.2=x
x=2041.2

now we have:
6.3% of 32400=2041.2
