24.33 is what percent of 200 - 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 200 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 200, so we can write it down as 100%=200.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=200
2) x%=24.33
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%=200/24.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.33 is what percent of 200

100%/x%=200/24.33
(100/x)*x=(200/24.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.2203041512536*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.2203041512536) to get x
100/8.2203041512536=x
12.165=x
x=12.165

now we have:
24.33 is 12.165% of 200
