24.29 is what percent of 132.96 - 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 132.96 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 132.96, so we can write it down as 100%=132.96.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=132.96
2) x%=24.29
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%=132.96/24.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.29 is what percent of 132.96

100%/x%=132.96/24.29
(100/x)*x=(132.96/24.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.4738575545492*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4738575545492) to get x
100/5.4738575545492=x
18.268652226233=x
x=18.268652226233

now we have:
