What is 345 percent of 421 - 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 421 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 421 is 100%, so we can write it down as 421=100%.
4. We know, that x is 345% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=345%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 421=100%
2) x=345%
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:
421/x=100%/345%
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 345% of 421

421/x=100/345
(421/x)*x=(100/345)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
421=0.28985507246377*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.28985507246377) to get x
421/0.28985507246377=x
1452.45=x
x=1452.45

now we have:
345% of 421=1452.45
