What is 24600 percent of 7.2 - 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 7.2 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 7.2 is 100%, so we can write it down as 7.2=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24600% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24600%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 7.2=100%
2) x=24600%
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:
7.2/x=100%/24600%
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 24600% of 7.2

7.2/x=100/24600
(7.2/x)*x=(100/24600)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
7.2=0.0040650406504065*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0040650406504065) to get x
7.2/0.0040650406504065=x
1771.2=x
x=1771.2

now we have:
24600% of 7.2=1771.2
