What is 24500 percent of 150500 - 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 150500 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 150500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 150500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24500% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24500%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 150500=100%
2) x=24500%
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:
150500/x=100%/24500%
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 24500% of 150500

150500/x=100/24500
(150500/x)*x=(100/24500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
150500=0.0040816326530612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0040816326530612) to get x
150500/0.0040816326530612=x
36872500=x
x=36872500

now we have:
24500% of 150500=36872500
