What is 19.96 percent of 24.95 - 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 24.95 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 24.95 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24.95=100%.
4. We know, that x is 19.96% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=19.96%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24.95=100%
2) x=19.96%
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:
24.95/x=100%/19.96%
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 19.96% of 24.95

24.95/x=100/19.96
(24.95/x)*x=(100/19.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24.95=5.0100200400802*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0100200400802) to get x
24.95/5.0100200400802=x
4.98002=x
x=4.98002

now we have:
19.96% of 24.95=4.98002
