What is 3.44 percent of 42699 - 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 42699 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 42699 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42699=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.44% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.44%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42699=100%
2) x=3.44%
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:
42699/x=100%/3.44%
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 3.44% of 42699

42699/x=100/3.44
(42699/x)*x=(100/3.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42699=29.06976744186*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.06976744186) to get x
42699/29.06976744186=x
1468.8456=x
x=1468.8456

now we have:
3.44% of 42699=1468.8456
