What is 38.34 percent of 1018 - 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 1018 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 1018 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1018=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38.34% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38.34%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1018=100%
2) x=38.34%
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:
1018/x=100%/38.34%
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 38.34% of 1018

1018/x=100/38.34
(1018/x)*x=(100/38.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1018=2.6082420448618*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6082420448618) to get x
1018/2.6082420448618=x
390.3012=x
x=390.3012

now we have:
38.34% of 1018=390.3012
