20671.1 is what percent of 24000 - 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 24000 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 24000, so we can write it down as 100%=24000.
4. We know, that x% equals 20671.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20671.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24000
2) x%=20671.1
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%=24000/20671.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20671.1 is what percent of 24000

100%/x%=24000/20671.1
(100/x)*x=(24000/20671.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1610412605038*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1610412605038) to get x
100/1.1610412605038=x
86.129583333333=x
x=86.129583333333

now we have:
20671.1 is 86.129583333333% of 24000
