What is 80.4 percent of 357400000 - 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 357400000 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 357400000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 357400000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 80.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=80.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 357400000=100%
2) x=80.4%
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:
357400000/x=100%/80.4%
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 80.4% of 357400000

357400000/x=100/80.4
(357400000/x)*x=(100/80.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
357400000=1.2437810945274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2437810945274) to get x
357400000/1.2437810945274=x
287349600=x
x=287349600

now we have:
80.4% of 357400000=287349600
