What is 49.58 percent of 34 - 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 34 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 34 is 100%, so we can write it down as 34=100%.
4. We know, that x is 49.58% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=49.58%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 34=100%
2) x=49.58%
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:
34/x=100%/49.58%
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 49.58% of 34

34/x=100/49.58
(34/x)*x=(100/49.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
34=2.0169423154498*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0169423154498) to get x
34/2.0169423154498=x
16.8572=x
x=16.8572

now we have:
49.58% of 34=16.8572
