What is 2.4 percent of 3.814 - 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 3.814 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 3.814 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3.814=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) 3.814=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:
3.814/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 3.814

3.814/x=100/2.4
(3.814/x)*x=(100/2.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3.814=41.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.666666666667) to get x
3.814/41.666666666667=x
0.091536=x
x=0.091536

now we have:
2.4% of 3.814=0.091536
