What is 24.72 percent of 455.17 - 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 455.17 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 455.17 is 100%, so we can write it down as 455.17=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.72% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.72%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 455.17=100%
2) x=24.72%
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:
455.17/x=100%/24.72%
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 24.72% of 455.17

455.17/x=100/24.72
(455.17/x)*x=(100/24.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
455.17=4.0453074433657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0453074433657) to get x
455.17/4.0453074433657=x
112.518024=x
x=112.518024

now we have:
24.72% of 455.17=112.518024
