What is 2.34 percent of 488.4 - 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 488.4 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 488.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 488.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.34% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.34%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 488.4=100%
2) x=2.34%
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:
488.4/x=100%/2.34%
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 2.34% of 488.4

488.4/x=100/2.34
(488.4/x)*x=(100/2.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
488.4=42.735042735043*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.735042735043) to get x
488.4/42.735042735043=x
11.42856=x
x=11.42856

now we have:
2.34% of 488.4=11.42856
