What is 23.72 percent of 98000 - 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 98000 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 98000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 98000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 98000=100%
2) x=23.72%
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:
98000/x=100%/23.72%
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 23.72% of 98000

98000/x=100/23.72
(98000/x)*x=(100/23.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
98000=4.2158516020236*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2158516020236) to get x
98000/4.2158516020236=x
23245.6=x
x=23245.6

now we have:
23.72% of 98000=23245.6
