300.6 is what percent of 2404 - 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 2404 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 100% equals 2404, so we can write it down as 100%=2404.
4. We know, that x% equals 300.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=300.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2404
2) x%=300.6
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:
100%/x%=2404/300.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 300.6 is what percent of 2404

100%/x%=2404/300.6
(100/x)*x=(2404/300.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.9973386560213*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9973386560213) to get x
100/7.9973386560213=x
12.504159733777=x
x=12.504159733777

now we have:
300.6 is 12.504159733777% of 2404
