What is 7.75 percent of 470000 - 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 470000 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 470000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 470000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 470000=100%
2) x=7.75%
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:
470000/x=100%/7.75%
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 7.75% of 470000

470000/x=100/7.75
(470000/x)*x=(100/7.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
470000=12.903225806452*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.903225806452) to get x
470000/12.903225806452=x
36425=x
x=36425

now we have:
7.75% of 470000=36425
