What is 24 percent of 12359 - 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 12359 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 12359 is 100%, so we can write it down as 12359=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 12359=100%
2) x=24%
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:
12359/x=100%/24%
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 24% of 12359

12359/x=100/24
(12359/x)*x=(100/24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
12359=4.1666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1666666666667) to get x
12359/4.1666666666667=x
2966.16=x
x=2966.16

now we have:
24% of 12359=2966.16
