What is 73.4 percent of 37300 - 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 37300 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 37300 is 100%, so we can write it down as 37300=100%.
4. We know, that x is 73.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=73.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 37300=100%
2) x=73.4%
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:
37300/x=100%/73.4%
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 73.4% of 37300

37300/x=100/73.4
(37300/x)*x=(100/73.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
37300=1.3623978201635*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3623978201635) to get x
37300/1.3623978201635=x
27378.2=x
x=27378.2

now we have:
73.4% of 37300=27378.2
