What is 2.4 percent of 18022.4 - 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 18022.4 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 18022.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18022.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18022.4=100%
2) x=2.4%
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:
18022.4/x=100%/2.4%
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 2.4% of 18022.4

18022.4/x=100/2.4
(18022.4/x)*x=(100/2.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18022.4=41.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.666666666667) to get x
18022.4/41.666666666667=x
432.5376=x
x=432.5376

now we have:
2.4% of 18022.4=432.5376
