What is 1.183 percent of 2040 - 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 2040 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 2040 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2040=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.183% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.183%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2040=100%
2) x=1.183%
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:
2040/x=100%/1.183%
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 1.183% of 2040

2040/x=100/1.183
(2040/x)*x=(100/1.183)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2040=84.530853761623*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (84.530853761623) to get x
2040/84.530853761623=x
24.1332=x
x=24.1332

now we have:
1.183% of 2040=24.1332
