What is 4.42 percent of 340000 - 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 340000 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 340000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 340000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4.42% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.42%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 340000=100%
2) x=4.42%
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:
340000/x=100%/4.42%
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 4.42% of 340000

340000/x=100/4.42
(340000/x)*x=(100/4.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
340000=22.62443438914*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.62443438914) to get x
340000/22.62443438914=x
15028=x
x=15028

now we have:
4.42% of 340000=15028
