What is 128 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 24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 128% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=128%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24=100%
2) x=128%
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:
24/x=100%/128%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 128% of 24

24/x=100/128
(24/x)*x=(100/128)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24=0.78125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.78125) to get x
24/0.78125=x
30.72=x
x=30.72

now we have:
128% of 24=30.72
