What is 3.4 percent of 434.69 - 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 434.69 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 434.69 is 100%, so we can write it down as 434.69=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) 434.69=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:
434.69/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 434.69

434.69/x=100/3.4
(434.69/x)*x=(100/3.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
434.69=29.411764705882*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.411764705882) to get x
434.69/29.411764705882=x
14.77946=x
x=14.77946

now we have:
3.4% of 434.69=14.77946
