What is 247.5 percent of 340 - 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 340 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 340 is 100%, so we can write it down as 340=100%.
4. We know, that x is 247.5% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=247.5%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 340=100%
2) x=247.5%
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:
340/x=100%/247.5%
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 247.5% of 340

340/x=100/247.5
(340/x)*x=(100/247.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
340=0.4040404040404*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.4040404040404) to get x
340/0.4040404040404=x
841.5=x
x=841.5

now we have:
247.5% of 340=841.5
