What is 3830 percent of 342 - 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 342 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 342 is 100%, so we can write it down as 342=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3830% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3830%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 342=100%
2) x=3830%
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:
342/x=100%/3830%
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 3830% of 342

342/x=100/3830
(342/x)*x=(100/3830)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
342=0.026109660574413*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.026109660574413) to get x
342/0.026109660574413=x
13098.6=x
x=13098.6

now we have:
3830% of 342=13098.6
