What is 18.95 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 18.95% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=18.95%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 240000=100%
2) x=18.95%
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%/18.95%
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 18.95% of 240000

240000/x=100/18.95
(240000/x)*x=(100/18.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
240000=5.2770448548813*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2770448548813) to get x
240000/5.2770448548813=x
45480=x
x=45480

now we have:
18.95% of 240000=45480
