What is 24.21 percent of 21995 - 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 21995 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 21995 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21995=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.21% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.21%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21995=100%
2) x=24.21%
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:
21995/x=100%/24.21%
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 24.21% of 21995

21995/x=100/24.21
(21995/x)*x=(100/24.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21995=4.1305245766212*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1305245766212) to get x
21995/4.1305245766212=x
5324.9895=x
x=5324.9895

now we have:
24.21% of 21995=5324.9895
