What is 99.02 percent of 246 - 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 246 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 246 is 100%, so we can write it down as 246=100%.
4. We know, that x is 99.02% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=99.02%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 246=100%
2) x=99.02%
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:
246/x=100%/99.02%
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 99.02% of 246

246/x=100/99.02
(246/x)*x=(100/99.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
246=1.009896990507*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.009896990507) to get x
246/1.009896990507=x
243.5892=x
x=243.5892

now we have:
99.02% of 246=243.5892
