What is 1017 percent of 2400 - 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 2400 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 2400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1017% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1017%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2400=100%
2) x=1017%
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:
2400/x=100%/1017%
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 1017% of 2400

2400/x=100/1017
(2400/x)*x=(100/1017)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2400=0.098328416912488*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.098328416912488) to get x
2400/0.098328416912488=x
24408=x
x=24408

now we have:
1017% of 2400=24408
