24.73 is what percent of 27.48 - 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 27.48 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 27.48, so we can write it down as 100%=27.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27.48
2) x%=24.73
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%=27.48/24.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.73 is what percent of 27.48

100%/x%=27.48/24.73
(100/x)*x=(27.48/24.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1112009704812*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1112009704812) to get x
100/1.1112009704812=x
89.992721979622=x
x=89.992721979622

now we have:
24.73 is 89.992721979622% of 27.48
