What is 24500 percent of 55700 - 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 55700 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 55700 is 100%, so we can write it down as 55700=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) 55700=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:
55700/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 55700

55700/x=100/24500
(55700/x)*x=(100/24500)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
55700=0.0040816326530612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0040816326530612) to get x
55700/0.0040816326530612=x
13646500=x
x=13646500

now we have:
24500% of 55700=13646500
