24.41 is what percent of 537.91 - 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 537.91 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 537.91, so we can write it down as 100%=537.91.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=537.91
2) x%=24.41
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%=537.91/24.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.41 is what percent of 537.91

100%/x%=537.91/24.41
(100/x)*x=(537.91/24.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.036460467022*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.036460467022) to get x
100/22.036460467022=x
4.5379338551059=x
x=4.5379338551059

now we have:
24.41 is 4.5379338551059% of 537.91
