321 is what percent of 24452 - 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 24452 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 24452, so we can write it down as 100%=24452.
4. We know, that x% equals 321 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=321.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24452
2) x%=321
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%=24452/321
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 321 is what percent of 24452

100%/x%=24452/321
(100/x)*x=(24452/321)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=76.17445482866*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (76.17445482866) to get x
100/76.17445482866=x
1.3127760510388=x
x=1.3127760510388

now we have:
321 is 1.3127760510388% of 24452
