What is 6.66 percent of 3400 - 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 3400 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 3400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 6.66% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=6.66%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3400=100%
2) x=6.66%
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:
3400/x=100%/6.66%
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 6.66% of 3400

3400/x=100/6.66
(3400/x)*x=(100/6.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3400=15.015015015015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.015015015015) to get x
3400/15.015015015015=x
226.44=x
x=226.44

now we have:
6.66% of 3400=226.44
