24.3 is what percent of 233.3 - 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 233.3 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 233.3, so we can write it down as 100%=233.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=233.3
2) x%=24.3
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%=233.3/24.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.3 is what percent of 233.3

100%/x%=233.3/24.3
(100/x)*x=(233.3/24.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.6008230452675*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.6008230452675) to get x
100/9.6008230452675=x
10.415773681955=x
x=10.415773681955

now we have:
24.3 is 10.415773681955% of 233.3
