What is 2.92 percent of 341.7 - 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 341.7 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 341.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 341.7=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.92% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.92%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 341.7=100%
2) x=2.92%
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:
341.7/x=100%/2.92%
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 2.92% of 341.7

341.7/x=100/2.92
(341.7/x)*x=(100/2.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
341.7=34.246575342466*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.246575342466) to get x
341.7/34.246575342466=x
9.97764=x
x=9.97764

now we have:
2.92% of 341.7=9.97764
