24.75 is what percent of 619.75 - 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 619.75 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 619.75, so we can write it down as 100%=619.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=619.75
2) x%=24.75
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%=619.75/24.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.75 is what percent of 619.75

100%/x%=619.75/24.75
(100/x)*x=(619.75/24.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.040404040404*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.040404040404) to get x
100/25.040404040404=x
3.9935457845906=x
x=3.9935457845906

now we have:
24.75 is 3.9935457845906% of 619.75
