What is 93 percent of 400000 - 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 400000 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 400000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 400000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 93% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=93%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 400000=100%
2) x=93%
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:
400000/x=100%/93%
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 93% of 400000

400000/x=100/93
(400000/x)*x=(100/93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
400000=1.0752688172043*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0752688172043) to get x
400000/1.0752688172043=x
372000=x
x=372000

now we have:
93% of 400000=372000
