What is 9.56 percent of 31200 - 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 31200 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 31200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 31200=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.56% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.56%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 31200=100%
2) x=9.56%
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:
31200/x=100%/9.56%
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 9.56% of 31200

31200/x=100/9.56
(31200/x)*x=(100/9.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
31200=10.460251046025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.460251046025) to get x
31200/10.460251046025=x
2982.72=x
x=2982.72

now we have:
9.56% of 31200=2982.72
