24.39 is what percent of 1170.61 - 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 1170.61 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 1170.61, so we can write it down as 100%=1170.61.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1170.61
2) x%=24.39
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%=1170.61/24.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.39 is what percent of 1170.61

100%/x%=1170.61/24.39
(100/x)*x=(1170.61/24.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=47.9954899549*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.9954899549) to get x
100/47.9954899549=x
2.0835291002127=x
x=2.0835291002127

now we have:
24.39 is 2.0835291002127% of 1170.61
