24.3 is what percent of 635.24 - 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 635.24 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 635.24, so we can write it down as 100%=635.24.
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%=635.24
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%=635.24/24.3
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 635.24

100%/x%=635.24/24.3
(100/x)*x=(635.24/24.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.141563786008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.141563786008) to get x
100/26.141563786008=x
3.8253258610919=x
x=3.8253258610919

now we have:
24.3 is 3.8253258610919% of 635.24
