24.99 is what percent of 108.27 - 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 108.27 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 108.27, so we can write it down as 100%=108.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=108.27
2) x%=24.99
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%=108.27/24.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.99 is what percent of 108.27

100%/x%=108.27/24.99
(100/x)*x=(108.27/24.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3325330132053*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3325330132053) to get x
100/4.3325330132053=x
23.081185924079=x
x=23.081185924079

now we have:
24.99 is 23.081185924079% of 108.27
