What is 2.439 percent of 698.4 - 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 698.4 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 698.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 698.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.439% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.439%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 698.4=100%
2) x=2.439%
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:
698.4/x=100%/2.439%
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 2.439% of 698.4

698.4/x=100/2.439
(698.4/x)*x=(100/2.439)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
698.4=41.0004100041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.0004100041) to get x
698.4/41.0004100041=x
17.033976=x
x=17.033976

now we have:
2.439% of 698.4=17.033976
