What is 2.5 percent of 9934 - 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 9934 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 9934 is 100%, so we can write it down as 9934=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 9934=100%
2) x=2.5%
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:
9934/x=100%/2.5%
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 2.5% of 9934

9934/x=100/2.5
(9934/x)*x=(100/2.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
9934=40*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40) to get x
9934/40=x
248.35=x
x=248.35

now we have:
2.5% of 9934=248.35
