0.71 is what percent of 24.36 - 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 24.36 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 24.36, so we can write it down as 100%=24.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.36
2) x%=0.71
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%=24.36/0.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.71 is what percent of 24.36

100%/x%=24.36/0.71
(100/x)*x=(24.36/0.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.30985915493*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.30985915493) to get x
100/34.30985915493=x
2.9146141215107=x
x=2.9146141215107

now we have:
0.71 is 2.9146141215107% of 24.36
