What is 3474 percent of 12742 - 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 12742 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 12742 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12742=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3474% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3474%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12742=100%
2) x=3474%
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:
12742/x=100%/3474%
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 3474% of 12742

12742/x=100/3474
(12742/x)*x=(100/3474)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12742=0.028785261945884*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.028785261945884) to get x
12742/0.028785261945884=x
442657.08=x
x=442657.08

now we have:
3474% of 12742=442657.08
