What is 24480 percent of 42160 - 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 42160 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 42160 is 100%, so we can write it down as 42160=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24480% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24480%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 42160=100%
2) x=24480%
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:
42160/x=100%/24480%
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 24480% of 42160

42160/x=100/24480
(42160/x)*x=(100/24480)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
42160=0.0040849673202614*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0040849673202614) to get x
42160/0.0040849673202614=x
10320768=x
x=10320768

now we have:
24480% of 42160=10320768
