What is 2.45 percent of 273140 - 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 273140 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 273140 is 100%, so we can write it down as 273140=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.45% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.45%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 273140=100%
2) x=2.45%
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:
273140/x=100%/2.45%
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 2.45% of 273140

273140/x=100/2.45
(273140/x)*x=(100/2.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
273140=40.816326530612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.816326530612) to get x
273140/40.816326530612=x
6691.93=x
x=6691.93

now we have:
2.45% of 273140=6691.93
