What is 494 percent of 24 - 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 24 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 24 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24=100%.
4. We know, that x is 494% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=494%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24=100%
2) x=494%
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:
24/x=100%/494%
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 494% of 24

24/x=100/494
(24/x)*x=(100/494)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24=0.20242914979757*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.20242914979757) to get x
24/0.20242914979757=x
118.56=x
x=118.56

now we have:
494% of 24=118.56
