0.6 is what percent of 24.59 - 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 24.59 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 24.59, so we can write it down as 100%=24.59.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.59
2) x%=0.6
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%=24.59/0.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.6 is what percent of 24.59

100%/x%=24.59/0.6
(100/x)*x=(24.59/0.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.983333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.983333333333) to get x
100/40.983333333333=x
2.4400162667751=x
x=2.4400162667751

now we have:
0.6 is 2.4400162667751% of 24.59
