What is 24.94 percent of 18.85 - 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 18.85 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 18.85 is 100%, so we can write it down as 18.85=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.94% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.94%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 18.85=100%
2) x=24.94%
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:
18.85/x=100%/24.94%
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 24.94% of 18.85

18.85/x=100/24.94
(18.85/x)*x=(100/24.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
18.85=4.009623095429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.009623095429) to get x
18.85/4.009623095429=x
4.70119=x
x=4.70119

now we have:
24.94% of 18.85=4.70119
