20.77 is what percent of 24.83 - 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 24.83 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 24.83, so we can write it down as 100%=24.83.
4. We know, that x% equals 20.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.83
2) x%=20.77
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%=24.83/20.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20.77 is what percent of 24.83

100%/x%=24.83/20.77
(100/x)*x=(24.83/20.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1954742416948*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1954742416948) to get x
100/1.1954742416948=x
83.648811921063=x
x=83.648811921063

now we have:
20.77 is 83.648811921063% of 24.83
