What is 25 percent of 2344 - 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 2344 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 2344 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2344=100%.
4. We know, that x is 25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2344=100%
2) x=25%
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:
2344/x=100%/25%
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 25% of 2344

2344/x=100/25
(2344/x)*x=(100/25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2344=4*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4) to get x
2344/4=x
586=x
x=586

now we have:
25% of 2344=586
