24.07 is what percent of 590.39 - 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 590.39 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 590.39, so we can write it down as 100%=590.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=590.39
2) x%=24.07
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%=590.39/24.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.07 is what percent of 590.39

100%/x%=590.39/24.07
(100/x)*x=(590.39/24.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.528043207312*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.528043207312) to get x
100/24.528043207312=x
4.0769660732736=x
x=4.0769660732736

now we have:
24.07 is 4.0769660732736% of 590.39
