What is 23.48 percent of 1239 - 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 1239 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 1239 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1239=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1239=100%
2) x=23.48%
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:
1239/x=100%/23.48%
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 23.48% of 1239

1239/x=100/23.48
(1239/x)*x=(100/23.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1239=4.2589437819421*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2589437819421) to get x
1239/4.2589437819421=x
290.9172=x
x=290.9172

now we have:
23.48% of 1239=290.9172
