What is 384 percent of 1240 - 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 1240 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 1240 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1240=100%.
4. We know, that x is 384% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=384%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1240=100%
2) x=384%
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:
1240/x=100%/384%
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 384% of 1240

1240/x=100/384
(1240/x)*x=(100/384)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1240=0.26041666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.26041666666667) to get x
1240/0.26041666666667=x
4761.6=x
x=4761.6

now we have:
384% of 1240=4761.6
