What is 2.867 percent of 13423 - 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 13423 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 13423 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13423=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.867% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.867%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 13423=100%
2) x=2.867%
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:
13423/x=100%/2.867%
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 2.867% of 13423

13423/x=100/2.867
(13423/x)*x=(100/2.867)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13423=34.879665155215*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.879665155215) to get x
13423/34.879665155215=x
384.83741=x
x=384.83741

now we have:
2.867% of 13423=384.83741
