What is 2.375 percent of 1028 - 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 1028 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 1028 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1028=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.375% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.375%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1028=100%
2) x=2.375%
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:
1028/x=100%/2.375%
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 2.375% of 1028

1028/x=100/2.375
(1028/x)*x=(100/2.375)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1028=42.105263157895*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.105263157895) to get x
1028/42.105263157895=x
24.415=x
x=24.415

now we have:
2.375% of 1028=24.415
