24.94 is what percent of 73.12 - 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 73.12 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 73.12, so we can write it down as 100%=73.12.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73.12
2) x%=24.94
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%=73.12/24.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.94 is what percent of 73.12

100%/x%=73.12/24.94
(100/x)*x=(73.12/24.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9318364073777*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9318364073777) to get x
100/2.9318364073777=x
34.108315098468=x
x=34.108315098468

now we have:
24.94 is 34.108315098468% of 73.12
