What is 34700 percent of 42600 - 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 42600 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 42600 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42600=100%.
4. We know, that x is 34700% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=34700%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42600=100%
2) x=34700%
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:
42600/x=100%/34700%
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 34700% of 42600

42600/x=100/34700
(42600/x)*x=(100/34700)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42600=0.0028818443804035*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0028818443804035) to get x
42600/0.0028818443804035=x
14782200=x
x=14782200

now we have:
34700% of 42600=14782200
