264.67 is what percent of 24 - 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 24 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 24, so we can write it down as 100%=24.
4. We know, that x% equals 264.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=264.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24
2) x%=264.67
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%=24/264.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 264.67 is what percent of 24

100%/x%=24/264.67
(100/x)*x=(24/264.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.090678958703291*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.090678958703291) to get x
100/0.090678958703291=x
1102.7916666667=x
x=1102.7916666667

now we have:
264.67 is 1102.7916666667% of 24
