What is 9.48 percent of 240.4 - 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 240.4 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 240.4 is 100%, so we can write it down as 240.4=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.48% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.48%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 240.4=100%
2) x=9.48%
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:
240.4/x=100%/9.48%
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 9.48% of 240.4

240.4/x=100/9.48
(240.4/x)*x=(100/9.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
240.4=10.548523206751*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.548523206751) to get x
240.4/10.548523206751=x
22.78992=x
x=22.78992

now we have:
9.48% of 240.4=22.78992
