What is 7.55 percent of 38000 - 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 38000 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 38000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 38000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.55% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.55%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 38000=100%
2) x=7.55%
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:
38000/x=100%/7.55%
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 7.55% of 38000

38000/x=100/7.55
(38000/x)*x=(100/7.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
38000=13.245033112583*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.245033112583) to get x
38000/13.245033112583=x
2869=x
x=2869

now we have:
7.55% of 38000=2869
