What is 34.5 percent of 3880 - 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 3880 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 3880 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3880=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3880=100%
2) x=34.5%
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:
3880/x=100%/34.5%
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 34.5% of 3880

3880/x=100/34.5
(3880/x)*x=(100/34.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3880=2.8985507246377*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8985507246377) to get x
3880/2.8985507246377=x
1338.6=x
x=1338.6

now we have:
34.5% of 3880=1338.6
