What is 23.4 percent of 3000000 - 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 3000000 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 3000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3000000=100%
2) x=23.4%
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:
3000000/x=100%/23.4%
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 23.4% of 3000000

3000000/x=100/23.4
(3000000/x)*x=(100/23.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3000000=4.2735042735043*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2735042735043) to get x
3000000/4.2735042735043=x
702000=x
x=702000

now we have:
23.4% of 3000000=702000
