What is 4000 percent of 74000 - 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 74000 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 74000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 74000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 4000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 74000=100%
2) x=4000%
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:
74000/x=100%/4000%
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 4000% of 74000

74000/x=100/4000
(74000/x)*x=(100/4000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
74000=0.025*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.025) to get x
74000/0.025=x
2960000=x
x=2960000

now we have:
4000% of 74000=2960000
