What is 3.84 percent of 1000 - 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 1000 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 1000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.84% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.84%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1000=100%
2) x=3.84%
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:
1000/x=100%/3.84%
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 3.84% of 1000

1000/x=100/3.84
(1000/x)*x=(100/3.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1000=26.041666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.041666666667) to get x
1000/26.041666666667=x
38.4=x
x=38.4

now we have:
3.84% of 1000=38.4
