What is 9.6 percent of 33740000 - 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 33740000 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 33740000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 33740000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 33740000=100%
2) x=9.6%
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:
33740000/x=100%/9.6%
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 9.6% of 33740000

33740000/x=100/9.6
(33740000/x)*x=(100/9.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
33740000=10.416666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.416666666667) to get x
33740000/10.416666666667=x
3239040=x
x=3239040

now we have:
9.6% of 33740000=3239040
