What is 43 percent of 2940 - 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 2940 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 2940 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2940=100%.
4. We know, that x is 43% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=43%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2940=100%
2) x=43%
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:
2940/x=100%/43%
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 43% of 2940

2940/x=100/43
(2940/x)*x=(100/43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2940=2.3255813953488*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3255813953488) to get x
2940/2.3255813953488=x
1264.2=x
x=1264.2

now we have:
43% of 2940=1264.2
