7.57 is what percent of 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=24.
4. We know, that x% equals 7.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24
2) x%=7.57
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%=24/7.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7.57 is what percent of 24

100%/x%=24/7.57
(100/x)*x=(24/7.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1704095112285*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1704095112285) to get x
100/3.1704095112285=x
31.541666666667=x
x=31.541666666667

now we have:
7.57 is 31.541666666667% of 24
