What is 42700 percent of 34800 - 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 34800 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 34800 is 100%, so we can write it down as 34800=100%.
4. We know, that x is 42700% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=42700%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 34800=100%
2) x=42700%
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:
34800/x=100%/42700%
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 42700% of 34800

34800/x=100/42700
(34800/x)*x=(100/42700)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
34800=0.0023419203747073*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0023419203747073) to get x
34800/0.0023419203747073=x
14859600=x
x=14859600

now we have:
42700% of 34800=14859600
