What is 24.1 percent of 310 - 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 310 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 310 is 100%, so we can write it down as 310=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 310=100%
2) x=24.1%
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:
310/x=100%/24.1%
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 24.1% of 310

310/x=100/24.1
(310/x)*x=(100/24.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
310=4.149377593361*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.149377593361) to get x
310/4.149377593361=x
74.71=x
x=74.71

now we have:
24.1% of 310=74.71
