24.95 is what percent of 67.99 - 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 67.99 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 67.99, so we can write it down as 100%=67.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=67.99
2) x%=24.95
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%=67.99/24.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.95 is what percent of 67.99

100%/x%=67.99/24.95
(100/x)*x=(67.99/24.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7250501002004*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7250501002004) to get x
100/2.7250501002004=x
36.696573025445=x
x=36.696573025445

now we have:
24.95 is 36.696573025445% of 67.99
