What is 8.9 percent of 34385 - 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 34385 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 34385 is 100%, so we can write it down as 34385=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 34385=100%
2) x=8.9%
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:
34385/x=100%/8.9%
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 8.9% of 34385

34385/x=100/8.9
(34385/x)*x=(100/8.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
34385=11.23595505618*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.23595505618) to get x
34385/11.23595505618=x
3060.265=x
x=3060.265

now we have:
8.9% of 34385=3060.265
