What is 61.75 percent of 162000 - 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 162000 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 162000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 162000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 61.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=61.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 162000=100%
2) x=61.75%
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:
162000/x=100%/61.75%
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 61.75% of 162000

162000/x=100/61.75
(162000/x)*x=(100/61.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
162000=1.6194331983806*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6194331983806) to get x
162000/1.6194331983806=x
100035=x
x=100035

now we have:
61.75% of 162000=100035
