What is 23.09 percent of 24.137 - 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 24.137 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 24.137 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24.137=100%.
4. We know, that x is 23.09% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=23.09%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24.137=100%
2) x=23.09%
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:
24.137/x=100%/23.09%
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 23.09% of 24.137

24.137/x=100/23.09
(24.137/x)*x=(100/23.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24.137=4.3308791684712*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3308791684712) to get x
24.137/4.3308791684712=x
5.5732333=x
x=5.5732333

now we have:
23.09% of 24.137=5.5732333
