24461.5 is what percent of 360000 - 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 360000 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 360000, so we can write it down as 100%=360000.
4. We know, that x% equals 24461.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24461.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=360000
2) x%=24461.5
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%=360000/24461.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24461.5 is what percent of 360000

100%/x%=360000/24461.5
(100/x)*x=(360000/24461.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.717004272019*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.717004272019) to get x
100/14.717004272019=x
6.7948611111111=x
x=6.7948611111111

now we have:
24461.5 is 6.7948611111111% of 360000
