9.24 is what percent of 38.55 - 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 38.55 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 38.55, so we can write it down as 100%=38.55.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38.55
2) x%=9.24
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%=38.55/9.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.24 is what percent of 38.55

100%/x%=38.55/9.24
(100/x)*x=(38.55/9.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1720779220779*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1720779220779) to get x
100/4.1720779220779=x
23.968871595331=x
x=23.968871595331

now we have:
9.24 is 23.968871595331% of 38.55
