What is 76 percent of 23100 - 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 23100 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 23100 is 100%, so we can write it down as 23100=100%.
4. We know, that x is 76% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=76%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 23100=100%
2) x=76%
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:
23100/x=100%/76%
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 76% of 23100

23100/x=100/76
(23100/x)*x=(100/76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
23100=1.3157894736842*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3157894736842) to get x
23100/1.3157894736842=x
17556=x
x=17556

now we have:
76% of 23100=17556
