What is 2.46 percent of 2354 - 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 2354 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 2354 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2354=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.46% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.46%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2354=100%
2) x=2.46%
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:
2354/x=100%/2.46%
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 2.46% of 2354

2354/x=100/2.46
(2354/x)*x=(100/2.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2354=40.650406504065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.650406504065) to get x
2354/40.650406504065=x
57.9084=x
x=57.9084

now we have:
2.46% of 2354=57.9084
