What is 8.407 percent of 3450 - 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 3450 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 3450 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3450=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.407% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.407%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3450=100%
2) x=8.407%
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:
3450/x=100%/8.407%
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 8.407% of 3450

3450/x=100/8.407
(3450/x)*x=(100/8.407)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3450=11.894849530153*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.894849530153) to get x
3450/11.894849530153=x
290.0415=x
x=290.0415

now we have:
8.407% of 3450=290.0415
