24.02 is what percent of 168.02 - 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 168.02 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 168.02, so we can write it down as 100%=168.02.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=168.02
2) x%=24.02
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%=168.02/24.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.02 is what percent of 168.02

100%/x%=168.02/24.02
(100/x)*x=(168.02/24.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.9950041631973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9950041631973) to get x
100/6.9950041631973=x
14.29591715272=x
x=14.29591715272

now we have:
24.02 is 14.29591715272% of 168.02
