What is 62 percent of 34710 - 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 34710 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 34710 is 100%, so we can write it down as 34710=100%.
4. We know, that x is 62% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=62%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 34710=100%
2) x=62%
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:
34710/x=100%/62%
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 62% of 34710

34710/x=100/62
(34710/x)*x=(100/62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
34710=1.6129032258065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6129032258065) to get x
34710/1.6129032258065=x
21520.2=x
x=21520.2

now we have:
62% of 34710=21520.2
