3492.34 is what percent of 3400 - 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 3400 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 3400, so we can write it down as 100%=3400.
4. We know, that x% equals 3492.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3492.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3400
2) x%=3492.34
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%=3400/3492.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3492.34 is what percent of 3400

100%/x%=3400/3492.34
(100/x)*x=(3400/3492.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.97355927544283*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97355927544283) to get x
100/0.97355927544283=x
102.71588235294=x
x=102.71588235294

now we have:
3492.34 is 102.71588235294% of 3400
