24.98 is what percent of 435.92 - 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 435.92 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 435.92, so we can write it down as 100%=435.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=435.92
2) x%=24.98
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%=435.92/24.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.98 is what percent of 435.92

100%/x%=435.92/24.98
(100/x)*x=(435.92/24.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.450760608487*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.450760608487) to get x
100/17.450760608487=x
5.7304092494036=x
x=5.7304092494036

now we have:
