124.33 is what percent of 2449 - 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 2449 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 2449, so we can write it down as 100%=2449.
4. We know, that x% equals 124.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=124.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2449
2) x%=124.33
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%=2449/124.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 124.33 is what percent of 2449

100%/x%=2449/124.33
(100/x)*x=(2449/124.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.697579023566*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.697579023566) to get x
100/19.697579023566=x
5.0767660269498=x
x=5.0767660269498

now we have:
124.33 is 5.0767660269498% of 2449
