What is 7.2 percent of 3370000 - 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 3370000 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 3370000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3370000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3370000=100%
2) x=7.2%
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:
3370000/x=100%/7.2%
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 7.2% of 3370000

3370000/x=100/7.2
(3370000/x)*x=(100/7.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3370000=13.888888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.888888888889) to get x
3370000/13.888888888889=x
242640=x
x=242640

now we have:
7.2% of 3370000=242640
