24.26 is what percent of 66 - 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 66 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 66, so we can write it down as 100%=66.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=66
2) x%=24.26
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%=66/24.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.26 is what percent of 66

100%/x%=66/24.26
(100/x)*x=(66/24.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7205276174773*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7205276174773) to get x
100/2.7205276174773=x
36.757575757576=x
x=36.757575757576

now we have:
24.26 is 36.757575757576% of 66
