0.24 is what percent of 30.52 - 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 30.52 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 100% equals 30.52, so we can write it down as 100%=30.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30.52
2) x%=0.24
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:
100%/x%=30.52/0.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.24 is what percent of 30.52

100%/x%=30.52/0.24
(100/x)*x=(30.52/0.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=127.16666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (127.16666666667) to get x
100/127.16666666667=x
0.78636959370904=x
x=0.78636959370904

now we have:
0.24 is 0.78636959370904% of 30.52
