What is 2.4 percent of 4940.7 - 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 4940.7 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 4940.7 is 100%, so we can write it down as 4940.7=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) 4940.7=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:
4940.7/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 4940.7

4940.7/x=100/2.4
(4940.7/x)*x=(100/2.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
4940.7=41.666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.666666666667) to get x
4940.7/41.666666666667=x
118.5768=x
x=118.5768

now we have:
2.4% of 4940.7=118.5768
