What is 2850 percent of 7200 - 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 7200 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 7200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7200=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2850% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2850%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7200=100%
2) x=2850%
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:
7200/x=100%/2850%
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 2850% of 7200

7200/x=100/2850
(7200/x)*x=(100/2850)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7200=0.035087719298246*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.035087719298246) to get x
7200/0.035087719298246=x
205200=x
x=205200

now we have:
2850% of 7200=205200
