What is 97.35 percent of 400 - 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 400 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 400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 97.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=97.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 400=100%
2) x=97.35%
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:
400/x=100%/97.35%
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 97.35% of 400

400/x=100/97.35
(400/x)*x=(100/97.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
400=1.0272213662044*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0272213662044) to get x
400/1.0272213662044=x
389.4=x
x=389.4

now we have:
97.35% of 400=389.4
