What is 55.25 percent of 2400 - 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 2400 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 2400 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2400=100%.
4. We know, that x is 55.25% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=55.25%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2400=100%
2) x=55.25%
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:
2400/x=100%/55.25%
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 55.25% of 2400

2400/x=100/55.25
(2400/x)*x=(100/55.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2400=1.8099547511312*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8099547511312) to get x
2400/1.8099547511312=x
1326=x
x=1326

now we have:
55.25% of 2400=1326
