What is 34.25 percent of 73 - 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 73 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 73 is 100%, so we can write it down as 73=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 73=100%
2) x=34.25%
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:
73/x=100%/34.25%
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 34.25% of 73

73/x=100/34.25
(73/x)*x=(100/34.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
73=2.9197080291971*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9197080291971) to get x
73/2.9197080291971=x
25.0025=x
x=25.0025

now we have:
34.25% of 73=25.0025
