7.49 is what percent of 24.95 - 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 24.95 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 24.95, so we can write it down as 100%=24.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24.95
2) x%=7.49
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%=24.95/7.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.49 is what percent of 24.95

100%/x%=24.95/7.49
(100/x)*x=(24.95/7.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3311081441923*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3311081441923) to get x
100/3.3311081441923=x
30.02004008016=x
x=30.02004008016

now we have:
7.49 is 30.02004008016% of 24.95
