What is 16800 percent of 238000 - 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 238000 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 238000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 238000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 16800% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=16800%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 238000=100%
2) x=16800%
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:
238000/x=100%/16800%
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 16800% of 238000

238000/x=100/16800
(238000/x)*x=(100/16800)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
238000=0.005952380952381*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.005952380952381) to get x
238000/0.005952380952381=x
39984000=x
x=39984000

now we have:
16800% of 238000=39984000
