24.3 is what percent of 25.3 - 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 25.3 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 25.3, so we can write it down as 100%=25.3.
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%=25.3
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%=25.3/24.3
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 25.3

100%/x%=25.3/24.3
(100/x)*x=(25.3/24.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0411522633745*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0411522633745) to get x
100/1.0411522633745=x
96.04743083004=x
x=96.04743083004

now we have:
24.3 is 96.04743083004% of 25.3
