What is 24000 percent of 217000 - 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 217000 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 217000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 217000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24000% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24000%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 217000=100%
2) x=24000%
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:
217000/x=100%/24000%
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 24000% of 217000

217000/x=100/24000
(217000/x)*x=(100/24000)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
217000=0.0041666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0041666666666667) to get x
217000/0.0041666666666667=x
52080000=x
x=52080000

now we have:
24000% of 217000=52080000
