1462

Explanation:

We can simply rewrite 43% as 0.43 (percents are out of 100, so we can do 43/100 to get 0.43).

Next, we can multiply this by 3400 to get our answer:

#0.43*3400=1462#

To check our answer, we can divide 1462 by 3400, and if we get 0.43, we're correct!:

#1462/3400= 0.43#

#43%# of #3400# is #1462#

Explanation:

One way to solve this is to use the formula:

#P%*x=Y#, where

  • #P# is the percent

  • #x# is the value given

  • #Y# is the value of the percent of a number

In this case, #P=43%# and #x=3400#

So our formula will look like this:

#43%*3400=Y#

We are going to convert #43%# to a decimal by removing the #%# sign and dividing it by #100#

So, #43/100=0.43#

Therefore, our equation is now

#0.43*3400=Y#

Compute and you'll get...

#1462=Y#

Thus, we can conclude that #43%# of #3400# is #1462#
