What is 2.48 percent of 253000000 - 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 253000000 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 253000000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 253000000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 253000000=100%
2) x=2.48%
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:
253000000/x=100%/2.48%
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 2.48% of 253000000

253000000/x=100/2.48
(253000000/x)*x=(100/2.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
253000000=40.322580645161*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.322580645161) to get x
253000000/40.322580645161=x
6274400=x
x=6274400

now we have:
2.48% of 253000000=6274400
