What is 34.2 percent of 220000000 - 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 220000000 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 220000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 220000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 220000000=100%
2) x=34.2%
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:
220000000/x=100%/34.2%
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 34.2% of 220000000

220000000/x=100/34.2
(220000000/x)*x=(100/34.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
220000000=2.9239766081871*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9239766081871) to get x
220000000/2.9239766081871=x
75240000=x
x=75240000

now we have:
34.2% of 220000000=75240000
