What is 23.9 percent of 397.02 - 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 397.02 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 397.02 is 100%, so we can write it down as 397.02=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 397.02=100%
2) x=23.9%
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:
397.02/x=100%/23.9%
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 23.9% of 397.02

397.02/x=100/23.9
(397.02/x)*x=(100/23.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
397.02=4.18410041841*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.18410041841) to get x
397.02/4.18410041841=x
94.88778=x
x=94.88778

now we have:
23.9% of 397.02=94.88778
