What is 7.36 percent of 2640 - 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 2640 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 2640 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2640=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.36% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.36%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2640=100%
2) x=7.36%
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:
2640/x=100%/7.36%
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 7.36% of 2640

2640/x=100/7.36
(2640/x)*x=(100/7.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2640=13.586956521739*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.586956521739) to get x
2640/13.586956521739=x
194.304=x
x=194.304

now we have:
7.36% of 2640=194.304
