24.49 is what percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9, so we can write it down as 100%=9.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9
2) x%=24.49
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%=9/24.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.49 is what percent of 9

100%/x%=9/24.49
(100/x)*x=(9/24.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.36749693752552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.36749693752552) to get x
100/0.36749693752552=x
272.11111111111=x
x=272.11111111111

now we have:
24.49 is 272.11111111111% of 9
