What is 24.61 percent of 65 - 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 65 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 65 is 100%, so we can write it down as 65=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.61% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.61%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 65=100%
2) x=24.61%
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:
65/x=100%/24.61%
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 24.61% of 65

65/x=100/24.61
(65/x)*x=(100/24.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
65=4.0633888663145*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0633888663145) to get x
65/4.0633888663145=x
15.9965=x
x=15.9965

now we have:
24.61% of 65=15.9965
