What is 34800 percent of 42700 - 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 42700 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 42700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34800% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34800%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42700=100%
2) x=34800%
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:
42700/x=100%/34800%
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 34800% of 42700

42700/x=100/34800
(42700/x)*x=(100/34800)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42700=0.0028735632183908*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0028735632183908) to get x
42700/0.0028735632183908=x
14859600=x
x=14859600

now we have:
34800% of 42700=14859600
