What is 2542 percent of 820 - 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 820 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 820 is 100%, so we can write it down as 820=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2542% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2542%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 820=100%
2) x=2542%
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:
820/x=100%/2542%
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 2542% of 820

820/x=100/2542
(820/x)*x=(100/2542)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
820=0.03933910306845*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.03933910306845) to get x
820/0.03933910306845=x
20844.4=x
x=20844.4

now we have:
2542% of 820=20844.4
