0.24 is what percent of 30000 - 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 30000 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 30000, so we can write it down as 100%=30000.
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%=30000
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%=30000/0.24
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 30000

100%/x%=30000/0.24
(100/x)*x=(30000/0.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=125000*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (125000) to get x
100/125000=x
0.0008=x
x=0.0008

now we have:
0.24 is 0.0008% of 30000
