What is 3.5 percent of 50037450 - 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 50037450 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 50037450 is 100%, so we can write it down as 50037450=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 50037450=100%
2) x=3.5%
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:
50037450/x=100%/3.5%
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 3.5% of 50037450

50037450/x=100/3.5
(50037450/x)*x=(100/3.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
50037450=28.5714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.5714285714) to get x
50037450/28.5714285714=x
1751310.75=x
x=1751310.75

now we have:
3.5% of 50037450=1751310.75
