What is 21840 percent of 118.97 - 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 118.97 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 118.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 118.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 21840% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21840%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 118.97=100%
2) x=21840%
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:
118.97/x=100%/21840%
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 21840% of 118.97
