What is 2.304 percent of 55000000 - 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 55000000 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 55000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.304% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.304%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 55000000=100%
2) x=2.304%
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:
55000000/x=100%/2.304%
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 2.304% of 55000000

55000000/x=100/2.304
(55000000/x)*x=(100/2.304)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55000000=43.402777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (43.402777777778) to get x
55000000/43.402777777778=x
1267200=x
x=1267200

now we have:
2.304% of 55000000=1267200
