What is 3.98 percent of 248 - 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 248 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 248 is 100%, so we can write it down as 248=100%.
4. We know, that x is 3.98% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=3.98%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 248=100%
2) x=3.98%
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:
248/x=100%/3.98%
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 3.98% of 248

248/x=100/3.98
(248/x)*x=(100/3.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
248=25.125628140704*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.125628140704) to get x
248/25.125628140704=x
9.8704=x
x=9.8704

now we have:
3.98% of 248=9.8704
