What is 4.84 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 4.84% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=4.84%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1240=100%
2) x=4.84%
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%/4.84%
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 4.84% of 1240

1240/x=100/4.84
(1240/x)*x=(100/4.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1240=20.661157024793*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.661157024793) to get x
1240/20.661157024793=x
60.016=x
x=60.016

now we have:
4.84% of 1240=60.016
