3.4 is what percent of 31400 - 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 31400 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 100% equals 31400, so we can write it down as 100%=31400.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31400
2) x%=3.4
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:
100%/x%=31400/3.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.4 is what percent of 31400

100%/x%=31400/3.4
(100/x)*x=(31400/3.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9235.2941176471*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9235.2941176471) to get x
100/9235.2941176471=x
0.010828025477707=x
x=0.010828025477707

now we have:
3.4 is 0.010828025477707% of 31400
