24 is what percent of 2207 - 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 2207 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 2207, so we can write it down as 100%=2207.
4. We know, that x% equals 24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2207
2) x%=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%=2207/24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24 is what percent of 2207

100%/x%=2207/24
(100/x)*x=(2207/24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=91.958333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (91.958333333333) to get x
100/91.958333333333=x
1.0874490258269=x
x=1.0874490258269

now we have:
24 is 1.0874490258269% of 2207
