24.67 is what percent of 1.438 - 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 1.438 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 1.438, so we can write it down as 100%=1.438.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.438
2) x%=24.67
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%=1.438/24.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.67 is what percent of 1.438

100%/x%=1.438/24.67
(100/x)*x=(1.438/24.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.058289420348602*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.058289420348602) to get x
100/0.058289420348602=x
1715.5771905424=x
x=1715.5771905424

now we have:
24.67 is 1715.5771905424% of 1.438
