24.88 is what percent of 29.88 - 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 29.88 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 29.88, so we can write it down as 100%=29.88.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.88
2) x%=24.88
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%=29.88/24.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.88 is what percent of 29.88

100%/x%=29.88/24.88
(100/x)*x=(29.88/24.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2009646302251*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2009646302251) to get x
100/1.2009646302251=x
83.26639892905=x
x=83.26639892905

now we have:
24.88 is 83.26639892905% of 29.88
