24 is what percent of 3910 - 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 3910 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 3910, so we can write it down as 100%=3910.
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%=3910
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%=3910/24
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 3910

100%/x%=3910/24
(100/x)*x=(3910/24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=162.91666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (162.91666666667) to get x
100/162.91666666667=x
0.61381074168798=x
x=0.61381074168798

now we have:
24 is 0.61381074168798% of 3910
