0.73 is what percent of 24.44 - 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 24.44 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 24.44, so we can write it down as 100%=24.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.44
2) x%=0.73
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%=24.44/0.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.73 is what percent of 24.44

100%/x%=24.44/0.73
(100/x)*x=(24.44/0.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.479452054795*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.479452054795) to get x
100/33.479452054795=x
2.986906710311=x
x=2.986906710311

now we have:
0.73 is 2.986906710311% of 24.44
