1.76 is what percent of 23.24 - 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 23.24 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 23.24, so we can write it down as 100%=23.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.24
2) x%=1.76
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%=23.24/1.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.76 is what percent of 23.24

100%/x%=23.24/1.76
(100/x)*x=(23.24/1.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.204545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.204545454545) to get x
100/13.204545454545=x
7.5731497418244=x
x=7.5731497418244

now we have:
1.76 is 7.5731497418244% of 23.24
