What is 2.473 percent of 318000000 - 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 318000000 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 318000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 318000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.473% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.473%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 318000000=100%
2) x=2.473%
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:
318000000/x=100%/2.473%
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 2.473% of 318000000

318000000/x=100/2.473
(318000000/x)*x=(100/2.473)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
318000000=40.436716538617*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.436716538617) to get x
318000000/40.436716538617=x
7864140=x
x=7864140

now we have:
2.473% of 318000000=7864140
