What is 40000 percent of 5760 - 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 5760 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 5760 is 100%, so we can write it down as 5760=100%.
4. We know, that x is 40000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=40000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 5760=100%
2) x=40000%
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:
5760/x=100%/40000%
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 40000% of 5760

5760/x=100/40000
(5760/x)*x=(100/40000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
5760=0.0025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0025) to get x
5760/0.0025=x
2304000=x
x=2304000

now we have:
40000% of 5760=2304000
