What is 96.2 percent of 2450 - 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 2450 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 2450 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2450=100%.
4. We know, that x is 96.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=96.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2450=100%
2) x=96.2%
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:
2450/x=100%/96.2%
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 96.2% of 2450

2450/x=100/96.2
(2450/x)*x=(100/96.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2450=1.039501039501*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.039501039501) to get x
2450/1.039501039501=x
2356.9=x
x=2356.9

now we have:
96.2% of 2450=2356.9
