What is 21.83 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 21.83% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=21.83%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24=100%
2) x=21.83%
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%/21.83%
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 21.83% of 24

24/x=100/21.83
(24/x)*x=(100/21.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24=4.5808520384792*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5808520384792) to get x
24/4.5808520384792=x
5.2392=x
x=5.2392

now we have:
21.83% of 24=5.2392
