What is 94.5 percent of 386 - 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 386 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 386 is 100%, so we can write it down as 386=100%.
4. We know, that x is 94.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=94.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 386=100%
2) x=94.5%
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:
386/x=100%/94.5%
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 94.5% of 386

386/x=100/94.5
(386/x)*x=(100/94.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
386=1.0582010582*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0582010582) to get x
386/1.0582010582=x
364.77=x
x=364.77

now we have:
94.5% of 386=364.77
