What is 3456 percent of 4.8 - 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 4.8 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 4.8 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4.8=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3456% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3456%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 4.8=100%
2) x=3456%
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:
4.8/x=100%/3456%
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 3456% of 4.8

4.8/x=100/3456
(4.8/x)*x=(100/3456)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4.8=0.028935185185185*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.028935185185185) to get x
4.8/0.028935185185185=x
165.888=x
x=165.888

now we have:
3456% of 4.8=165.888
