What is 38400 percent of 389800 - 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 389800 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 389800 is 100%, so we can write it down as 389800=100%.
4. We know, that x is 38400% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=38400%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 389800=100%
2) x=38400%
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:
389800/x=100%/38400%
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 38400% of 389800

389800/x=100/38400
(389800/x)*x=(100/38400)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
389800=0.0026041666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0026041666666667) to get x
389800/0.0026041666666667=x
149683200=x
x=149683200

now we have:
38400% of 389800=149683200
