What is 9.15 percent of 31000 - 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 31000 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 31000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.15% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.15%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31000=100%
2) x=9.15%
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:
31000/x=100%/9.15%
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 9.15% of 31000

31000/x=100/9.15
(31000/x)*x=(100/9.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31000=10.928961748634*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.928961748634) to get x
31000/10.928961748634=x
2836.5=x
x=2836.5

now we have:
9.15% of 31000=2836.5
