What is 24 percent of 13900000 - 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 13900000 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 13900000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 13900000=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) 13900000=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:
13900000/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 13900000

13900000/x=100/24
(13900000/x)*x=(100/24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
13900000=4.1666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1666666666667) to get x
13900000/4.1666666666667=x
3336000=x
x=3336000

now we have:
24% of 13900000=3336000
