What is 2.35 percent of 21200 - 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 21200 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 21200 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21200=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.35% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.35%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21200=100%
2) x=2.35%
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:
21200/x=100%/2.35%
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 2.35% of 21200

21200/x=100/2.35
(21200/x)*x=(100/2.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21200=42.553191489362*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.553191489362) to get x
21200/42.553191489362=x
498.2=x
x=498.2

now we have:
2.35% of 21200=498.2
