24.13 is what percent of 473.2 - 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 473.2 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 473.2, so we can write it down as 100%=473.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=473.2
2) x%=24.13
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%=473.2/24.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.13 is what percent of 473.2

100%/x%=473.2/24.13
(100/x)*x=(473.2/24.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.610443431413*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.610443431413) to get x
100/19.610443431413=x
5.0993237531699=x
x=5.0993237531699

now we have:
24.13 is 5.0993237531699% of 473.2
