What is 35.88 percent of 434 - 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 434 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 434 is 100%, so we can write it down as 434=100%.
4. We know, that x is 35.88% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=35.88%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 434=100%
2) x=35.88%
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:
434/x=100%/35.88%
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 35.88% of 434

434/x=100/35.88
(434/x)*x=(100/35.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
434=2.7870680044593*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7870680044593) to get x
434/2.7870680044593=x
155.7192=x
x=155.7192

now we have:
35.88% of 434=155.7192
