3.6 is what percent of 24400 - 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 24400 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 24400, so we can write it down as 100%=24400.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24400
2) x%=3.6
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%=24400/3.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.6 is what percent of 24400

100%/x%=24400/3.6
(100/x)*x=(24400/3.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6777.7777777778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6777.7777777778) to get x
100/6777.7777777778=x
0.014754098360656=x
x=0.014754098360656

now we have:
3.6 is 0.014754098360656% of 24400
