389.06 is what percent of 24800 - 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 24800 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 24800, so we can write it down as 100%=24800.
4. We know, that x% equals 389.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=389.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24800
2) x%=389.06
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%=24800/389.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 389.06 is what percent of 24800

100%/x%=24800/389.06
(100/x)*x=(24800/389.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=63.743381483576*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (63.743381483576) to get x
100/63.743381483576=x
1.5687903225806=x
x=1.5687903225806

now we have:
389.06 is 1.5687903225806% of 24800
