What is 92.4 percent of 260.1 - 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 260.1 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 260.1 is 100%, so we can write it down as 260.1=100%.
4. We know, that x is 92.4% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=92.4%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 260.1=100%
2) x=92.4%
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:
260.1/x=100%/92.4%
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 92.4% of 260.1

260.1/x=100/92.4
(260.1/x)*x=(100/92.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
260.1=1.0822510822511*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0822510822511) to get x
260.1/1.0822510822511=x
240.3324=x
x=240.3324

now we have:
92.4% of 260.1=240.3324
