What is 8 percent of 2362848 - 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 2362848 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 2362848 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2362848=100%.
4. We know, that x is 8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2362848=100%
2) x=8%
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:
2362848/x=100%/8%
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 8% of 2362848

2362848/x=100/8
(2362848/x)*x=(100/8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2362848=12.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x
2362848/12.5=x
189027.84=x
x=189027.84

now we have:
