24.9 is what percent of 55.65 - 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 55.65 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 55.65, so we can write it down as 100%=55.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=55.65
2) x%=24.9
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%=55.65/24.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.9 is what percent of 55.65

100%/x%=55.65/24.9
(100/x)*x=(55.65/24.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2349397590361*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2349397590361) to get x
100/2.2349397590361=x
44.743935309973=x
x=44.743935309973

now we have:
24.9 is 44.743935309973% of 55.65
