What is 1240 percent of 1340 - 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 1340 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 1340 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1340=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1240% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1240%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1340=100%
2) x=1240%
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:
1340/x=100%/1240%
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 1240% of 1340

1340/x=100/1240
(1340/x)*x=(100/1240)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1340=0.080645161290323*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.080645161290323) to get x
1340/0.080645161290323=x
16616=x
x=16616

now we have:
1240% of 1340=16616
