What is 5.55 percent of 24006 - 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 24006 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 24006 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24006=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.55% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.55%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24006=100%
2) x=5.55%
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:
24006/x=100%/5.55%
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 5.55% of 24006

24006/x=100/5.55
(24006/x)*x=(100/5.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24006=18.018018018018*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.018018018018) to get x
24006/18.018018018018=x
1332.333=x
x=1332.333

now we have:
5.55% of 24006=1332.333
