What is 3.75 percent of 58500 - 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 58500 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 58500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 58500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 58500=100%
2) x=3.75%
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:
58500/x=100%/3.75%
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 3.75% of 58500

58500/x=100/3.75
(58500/x)*x=(100/3.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
58500=26.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.666666666667) to get x
58500/26.666666666667=x
2193.75=x
x=2193.75

now we have:
3.75% of 58500=2193.75
