What is 2.39 percent of 235.67 - 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 235.67 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 235.67 is 100%, so we can write it down as 235.67=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.39% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.39%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 235.67=100%
2) x=2.39%
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:
235.67/x=100%/2.39%
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 2.39% of 235.67

235.67/x=100/2.39
(235.67/x)*x=(100/2.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
235.67=41.8410041841*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.8410041841) to get x
235.67/41.8410041841=x
5.632513=x
x=5.632513

now we have:
2.39% of 235.67=5.632513
