What is 240000 percent of 708900 - 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 708900 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 708900 is 100%, so we can write it down as 708900=100%.
4. We know, that x is 240000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=240000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 708900=100%
2) x=240000%
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:
708900/x=100%/240000%
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 240000% of 708900

708900/x=100/240000
(708900/x)*x=(100/240000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
708900=0.00041666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.00041666666666667) to get x
708900/0.00041666666666667=x
1701360000=x
x=1701360000

now we have:
240000% of 708900=1701360000
