What is 7.4 percent of 3041 - 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 3041 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 3041 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3041=100%.
4. We know, that x is 7.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=7.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3041=100%
2) x=7.4%
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:
3041/x=100%/7.4%
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 7.4% of 3041

3041/x=100/7.4
(3041/x)*x=(100/7.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3041=13.513513513514*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.513513513514) to get x
3041/13.513513513514=x
225.034=x
x=225.034

now we have:
7.4% of 3041=225.034
