What is 74.5 percent of 34.6 - 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 34.6 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 34.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 34.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 74.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 34.6=100%
2) x=74.5%
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:
34.6/x=100%/74.5%
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 74.5% of 34.6

34.6/x=100/74.5
(34.6/x)*x=(100/74.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
34.6=1.3422818791946*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3422818791946) to get x
34.6/1.3422818791946=x
25.777=x
x=25.777

now we have:
74.5% of 34.6=25.777
