What is 0.75 percent of 2416 - 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 2416 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 2416 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2416=100%.
4. We know, that x is 0.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=0.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2416=100%
2) x=0.75%
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:
2416/x=100%/0.75%
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 0.75% of 2416

2416/x=100/0.75
(2416/x)*x=(100/0.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2416=133.33333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (133.33333333333) to get x
2416/133.33333333333=x
18.12=x
x=18.12

now we have:
0.75% of 2416=18.12
