4.04 is what percent of 24.99 - 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 24.99 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 24.99, so we can write it down as 100%=24.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 4.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.99
2) x%=4.04
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%=24.99/4.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4.04 is what percent of 24.99

100%/x%=24.99/4.04
(100/x)*x=(24.99/4.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.1856435643564*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.1856435643564) to get x
100/6.1856435643564=x
16.166466586635=x
x=16.166466586635

now we have:
4.04 is 16.166466586635% of 24.99
