What is 13.84 percent of 429 - 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 429 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 429 is 100%, so we can write it down as 429=100%.
4. We know, that x is 13.84% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=13.84%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 429=100%
2) x=13.84%
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:
429/x=100%/13.84%
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 13.84% of 429

429/x=100/13.84
(429/x)*x=(100/13.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
429=7.2254335260116*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2254335260116) to get x
429/7.2254335260116=x
59.3736=x
x=59.3736

now we have:
13.84% of 429=59.3736
