What is 24.86 percent of 98.86 - 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 98.86 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 98.86 is 100%, so we can write it down as 98.86=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.86% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.86%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 98.86=100%
2) x=24.86%
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:
98.86/x=100%/24.86%
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 24.86% of 98.86

98.86/x=100/24.86
(98.86/x)*x=(100/24.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
98.86=4.02252614642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.02252614642) to get x
98.86/4.02252614642=x
24.576596=x
x=24.576596

now we have:
24.86% of 98.86=24.576596
