What is 23.94 percent of 20940 - 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 20940 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 20940 is 100%, so we can write it down as 20940=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 20940=100%
2) x=23.94%
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:
20940/x=100%/23.94%
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 23.94% of 20940

20940/x=100/23.94
(20940/x)*x=(100/23.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
20940=4.1771094402673*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1771094402673) to get x
20940/4.1771094402673=x
5013.036=x
x=5013.036

now we have:
23.94% of 20940=5013.036
