What is 7200 percent of 25700 - 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 25700 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 25700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 25700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7200% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7200%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 25700=100%
2) x=7200%
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:
25700/x=100%/7200%
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 7200% of 25700

25700/x=100/7200
(25700/x)*x=(100/7200)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
25700=0.013888888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.013888888888889) to get x
25700/0.013888888888889=x
1850400=x
x=1850400

now we have:
7200% of 25700=1850400
