What is 321 percent of 388 - 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 388 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 388 is 100%, so we can write it down as 388=100%.
4. We know, that x is 321% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=321%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 388=100%
2) x=321%
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:
388/x=100%/321%
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 321% of 388

388/x=100/321
(388/x)*x=(100/321)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
388=0.31152647975078*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.31152647975078) to get x
388/0.31152647975078=x
1245.48=x
x=1245.48

now we have:
321% of 388=1245.48
