What is 1.351 percent of 240000 - 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 240000 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 240000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 240000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1.351% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1.351%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 240000=100%
2) x=1.351%
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:
240000/x=100%/1.351%
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 1.351% of 240000

240000/x=100/1.351
(240000/x)*x=(100/1.351)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
240000=74.019245003701*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (74.019245003701) to get x
240000/74.019245003701=x
3242.4=x
x=3242.4

now we have:
1.351% of 240000=3242.4
