What is 118 percent of 2024 - 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 2024 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 2024 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2024=100%.
4. We know, that x is 118% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=118%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2024=100%
2) x=118%
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:
2024/x=100%/118%
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 118% of 2024

2024/x=100/118
(2024/x)*x=(100/118)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2024=0.84745762711864*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.84745762711864) to get x
2024/0.84745762711864=x
2388.32=x
x=2388.32

now we have:
118% of 2024=2388.32
