What is 24.97 percent of 29.97 - 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 29.97 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 29.97 is 100%, so we can write it down as 29.97=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 29.97=100%
2) x=24.97%
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:
29.97/x=100%/24.97%
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 24.97% of 29.97

29.97/x=100/24.97
(29.97/x)*x=(100/24.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
29.97=4.0048057669203*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0048057669203) to get x
29.97/4.0048057669203=x
7.483509=x
x=7.483509

now we have:
24.97% of 29.97=7.483509
