2.24 is what percent of 2.41 - 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 2.41 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 2.41, so we can write it down as 100%=2.41.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.41
2) x%=2.24
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%=2.41/2.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.24 is what percent of 2.41

100%/x%=2.41/2.24
(100/x)*x=(2.41/2.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0758928571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0758928571429) to get x
100/1.0758928571429=x
92.946058091286=x
x=92.946058091286

now we have:
2.24 is 92.946058091286% of 2.41
