What is 17.53 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 17.53% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=17.53%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24=100%
2) x=17.53%
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%/17.53%
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 17.53% of 24

24/x=100/17.53
(24/x)*x=(100/17.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24=5.7045065601825*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7045065601825) to get x
24/5.7045065601825=x
4.2072=x
x=4.2072

now we have:
17.53% of 24=4.2072
