6.24 is what percent of 24.24 - 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 24.24 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 24.24, so we can write it down as 100%=24.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.24
2) x%=6.24
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%=24.24/6.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.24 is what percent of 24.24

100%/x%=24.24/6.24
(100/x)*x=(24.24/6.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8846153846154*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8846153846154) to get x
100/3.8846153846154=x
25.742574257426=x
x=25.742574257426

now we have:
6.24 is 25.742574257426% of 24.24
