What is 342 percent of 1672 - 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 1672 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 1672 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1672=100%.
4. We know, that x is 342% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=342%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1672=100%
2) x=342%
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:
1672/x=100%/342%
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 342% of 1672

1672/x=100/342
(1672/x)*x=(100/342)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1672=0.29239766081871*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.29239766081871) to get x
1672/0.29239766081871=x
5718.24=x
x=5718.24

now we have:
342% of 1672=5718.24
