What is 74.9 percent of 2730 - 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 2730 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 2730 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2730=100%.
4. We know, that x is 74.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2730=100%
2) x=74.9%
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:
2730/x=100%/74.9%
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 74.9% of 2730

2730/x=100/74.9
(2730/x)*x=(100/74.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2730=1.3351134846462*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3351134846462) to get x
2730/1.3351134846462=x
2044.77=x
x=2044.77

now we have:
74.9% of 2730=2044.77
