24 is what percent of 25.68 - 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 25.68 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 25.68, so we can write it down as 100%=25.68.
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%=25.68
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%=25.68/24
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 25.68

100%/x%=25.68/24
(100/x)*x=(25.68/24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.07*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.07) to get x
100/1.07=x
93.457943925234=x
x=93.457943925234

now we have:
24 is 93.457943925234% of 25.68
