What is 1.4 percent of 385320 - 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 385320 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 385320 is 100%, so we can write it down as 385320=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 385320=100%
2) x=1.4%
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:
385320/x=100%/1.4%
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 1.4% of 385320

385320/x=100/1.4
(385320/x)*x=(100/1.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
385320=71.428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (71.428571428571) to get x
385320/71.428571428571=x
5394.48=x
x=5394.48

now we have:
1.4% of 385320=5394.48
