What is 23702 percent of 40000 - 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 40000 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 40000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 40000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23702% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23702%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 40000=100%
2) x=23702%
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:
40000/x=100%/23702%
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 23702% of 40000

40000/x=100/23702
(40000/x)*x=(100/23702)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
40000=0.0042190532444519*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0042190532444519) to get x
40000/0.0042190532444519=x
9480800=x
x=9480800

now we have:
23702% of 40000=9480800
