14.05 is what percent of 24.49 - 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 24.49 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 24.49, so we can write it down as 100%=24.49.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.49
2) x%=14.05
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%=24.49/14.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.05 is what percent of 24.49

100%/x%=24.49/14.05
(100/x)*x=(24.49/14.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7430604982206*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7430604982206) to get x
100/1.7430604982206=x
57.37035524704=x
x=57.37035524704

now we have:
14.05 is 57.37035524704% of 24.49
