0.62 is what percent of 24.97 - 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 24.97 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 24.97, so we can write it down as 100%=24.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.97
2) x%=0.62
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%=24.97/0.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.62 is what percent of 24.97

100%/x%=24.97/0.62
(100/x)*x=(24.97/0.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=40.274193548387*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (40.274193548387) to get x
100/40.274193548387=x
2.4829795754906=x
x=2.4829795754906

now we have:
0.62 is 2.4829795754906% of 24.97
