What is 300 percent of 22.4 - 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 22.4 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 22.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 22.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 300% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=300%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 22.4=100%
2) x=300%
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:
22.4/x=100%/300%
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 300% of 22.4

22.4/x=100/300
(22.4/x)*x=(100/300)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
22.4=0.33333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.33333333333333) to get x
22.4/0.33333333333333=x
67.2=x
x=67.2

now we have:
300% of 22.4=67.2
