23.98 is what percent of 203.24 - 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 203.24 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 203.24, so we can write it down as 100%=203.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=203.24
2) x%=23.98
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%=203.24/23.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.98 is what percent of 203.24

100%/x%=203.24/23.98
(100/x)*x=(203.24/23.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.4753961634696*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.4753961634696) to get x
100/8.4753961634696=x
11.798858492423=x
x=11.798858492423

now we have:
23.98 is 11.798858492423% of 203.24
