8177.38 is what percent of 24000 - 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 24000 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 24000, so we can write it down as 100%=24000.
4. We know, that x% equals 8177.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8177.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24000
2) x%=8177.38
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%=24000/8177.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8177.38 is what percent of 24000

100%/x%=24000/8177.38
(100/x)*x=(24000/8177.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9349253672937*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9349253672937) to get x
100/2.9349253672937=x
34.072416666667=x
x=34.072416666667

now we have:
8177.38 is 34.072416666667% of 24000
