What is 24.9 percent of 1300000 - 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 1300000 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 1300000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1300000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1300000=100%
2) x=24.9%
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:
1300000/x=100%/24.9%
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 24.9% of 1300000

1300000/x=100/24.9
(1300000/x)*x=(100/24.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1300000=4.0160642570281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0160642570281) to get x
1300000/4.0160642570281=x
323700=x
x=323700

now we have:
24.9% of 1300000=323700
