What is 28400 percent of 12 - 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 12 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 12 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12=100%.
4. We know, that x is 28400% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=28400%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12=100%
2) x=28400%
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:
12/x=100%/28400%
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 28400% of 12

12/x=100/28400
(12/x)*x=(100/28400)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12=0.0035211267605634*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0035211267605634) to get x
12/0.0035211267605634=x
3408=x
x=3408

now we have:
28400% of 12=3408
