What is 3.8 percent of 623 - 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 623 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 623 is 100%, so we can write it down as 623=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 623=100%
2) x=3.8%
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:
623/x=100%/3.8%
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 3.8% of 623

623/x=100/3.8
(623/x)*x=(100/3.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
623=26.315789473684*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.315789473684) to get x
623/26.315789473684=x
23.674=x
x=23.674

now we have:
3.8% of 623=23.674
