24 is what percent of 43000 - 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 43000 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 43000, so we can write it down as 100%=43000.
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%=43000
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%=43000/24
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 43000

100%/x%=43000/24
(100/x)*x=(43000/24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1791.6666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1791.6666666667) to get x
100/1791.6666666667=x
0.055813953488372=x
x=0.055813953488372

now we have:
24 is 0.055813953488372% of 43000
