What is 3740 percent of 37400 - 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 37400 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 37400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3740% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3740%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 37400=100%
2) x=3740%
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:
37400/x=100%/3740%
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 3740% of 37400

37400/x=100/3740
(37400/x)*x=(100/3740)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37400=0.026737967914439*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.026737967914439) to get x
37400/0.026737967914439=x
1398760=x
x=1398760

now we have:
3740% of 37400=1398760
