What is 9.74 percent of 2850.94 - 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 2850.94 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 2850.94 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2850.94=100%.
4. We know, that x is 9.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=9.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2850.94=100%
2) x=9.74%
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:
2850.94/x=100%/9.74%
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 9.74% of 2850.94

2850.94/x=100/9.74
(2850.94/x)*x=(100/9.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2850.94=10.266940451745*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.266940451745) to get x
2850.94/10.266940451745=x
277.681556=x
x=277.681556

now we have:
9.74% of 2850.94=277.681556
