What is 0.7227 percent of 342000 - 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 342000 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 342000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 342000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.7227% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.7227%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 342000=100%
2) x=0.7227%
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:
342000/x=100%/0.7227%
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 0.7227% of 342000

342000/x=100/0.7227
(342000/x)*x=(100/0.7227)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
342000=138.3700013837*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (138.3700013837) to get x
342000/138.3700013837=x
2471.634=x
x=2471.634

now we have:
0.7227% of 342000=2471.634
