$2580$ $2580$

Let the number be $x$ $x$

Therefore;

$593.4$ $593.4$ is $23 %$ $23%$ of $x$ $x$

$593.4 = \frac{23}{100} \times x$ $593.4 = 23/100 xx x$

$593.4 = \frac{23 x}{100}$ $593.4 = (23x)/100$

$23 x = 593.4 \times 100$ $23x = 593.4 xx 100$

$23 x = 59340$ $23x = 59340$

$x = \frac{59340}{23}$ $x = 59340/23$

$x = 2580$ $x = 2580$

$\frac{593.4}{23} = \frac{x}{100} \frac{\leftarrow number}{\leftarrow percent}$ $593.4/23 = x/100" "(larr"number")/(larr"percent")$

$x = \frac{593.4 \times 100}{23}$ $x = (593.4xx100)/23$

$x = 2, 580$ $x= 2,580$
