What is 6.125 percent of 300040 - 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 300040 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 300040 is 100%, so we can write it down as 300040=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.125% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.125%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 300040=100%
2) x=6.125%
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:
300040/x=100%/6.125%
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 6.125% of 300040

300040/x=100/6.125
(300040/x)*x=(100/6.125)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
300040=16.326530612245*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.326530612245) to get x
300040/16.326530612245=x
18377.45=x
x=18377.45

now we have:
6.125% of 300040=18377.45
