What is 43.3 percent of 284 - 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 284 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 284 is 100%, so we can write it down as 284=100%.
4. We know, that x is 43.3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=43.3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 284=100%
2) x=43.3%
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:
284/x=100%/43.3%
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 43.3% of 284

284/x=100/43.3
(284/x)*x=(100/43.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
284=2.3094688221709*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3094688221709) to get x
284/2.3094688221709=x
122.972=x
x=122.972

now we have:
43.3% of 284=122.972
