14.53 is what percent of 24.95 - 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 24.95 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 24.95, so we can write it down as 100%=24.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.95
2) x%=14.53
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%=24.95/14.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.53 is what percent of 24.95

100%/x%=24.95/14.53
(100/x)*x=(24.95/14.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7171369580179*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7171369580179) to get x
100/1.7171369580179=x
58.236472945892=x
x=58.236472945892

now we have:
14.53 is 58.236472945892% of 24.95
