24.4 is what percent of 52.369 - 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 52.369 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 52.369, so we can write it down as 100%=52.369.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=52.369
2) x%=24.4
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%=52.369/24.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.4 is what percent of 52.369

100%/x%=52.369/24.4
(100/x)*x=(52.369/24.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1462704918033*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1462704918033) to get x
100/2.1462704918033=x
46.592449731712=x
x=46.592449731712

now we have:
24.4 is 46.592449731712% of 52.369
