24 is what percent of 64224 - 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 64224 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 64224, so we can write it down as 100%=64224.
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%=64224
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%=64224/24
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 64224

100%/x%=64224/24
(100/x)*x=(64224/24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2676) to get x
100/2676=x
0.037369207772795=x
x=0.037369207772795

now we have:
24 is 0.037369207772795% of 64224
