What is 334 percent of 342 - 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 342 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 342 is 100%, so we can write it down as 342=100%.
4. We know, that x is 334% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=334%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 342=100%
2) x=334%
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:
342/x=100%/334%
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 334% of 342

342/x=100/334
(342/x)*x=(100/334)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
342=0.29940119760479*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.29940119760479) to get x
342/0.29940119760479=x
1142.28=x
x=1142.28

now we have:
334% of 342=1142.28
