What is 14 percent of 3034 - 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 3034 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 3034 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3034=100%.
4. We know, that x is 14% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=14%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3034=100%
2) x=14%
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:
3034/x=100%/14%
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 14% of 3034

3034/x=100/14
(3034/x)*x=(100/14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3034=7.1428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.1428571428571) to get x
3034/7.1428571428571=x
424.76=x
x=424.76

now we have:
14% of 3034=424.76
