What is 3 percent of 7634 - 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 7634 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 7634 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7634=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7634=100%
2) x=3%
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:
7634/x=100%/3%
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 3% of 7634

7634/x=100/3
(7634/x)*x=(100/3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7634=33.333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.333333333333) to get x
7634/33.333333333333=x
229.02=x
x=229.02

now we have:
3% of 7634=229.02
