What is 2400 percent of 10700 - 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 10700 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 10700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 10700=100%.
4. We know, that x is 2400% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=2400%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 10700=100%
2) x=2400%
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:
10700/x=100%/2400%
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 2400% of 10700

10700/x=100/2400
(10700/x)*x=(100/2400)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
10700=0.041666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.041666666666667) to get x
10700/0.041666666666667=x
256800=x
x=256800

now we have:
2400% of 10700=256800
