What is 3.4 percent of 23298 - 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 23298 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 23298 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23298=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23298=100%
2) x=3.4%
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:
23298/x=100%/3.4%
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 3.4% of 23298

23298/x=100/3.4
(23298/x)*x=(100/3.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23298=29.411764705882*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.411764705882) to get x
23298/29.411764705882=x
792.132=x
x=792.132

now we have:
3.4% of 23298=792.132
