What is 700 percent of 24500 - 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 24500 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 24500 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24500=100%.
4. We know, that x is 700% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=700%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24500=100%
2) x=700%
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:
24500/x=100%/700%
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 700% of 24500

24500/x=100/700
(24500/x)*x=(100/700)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24500=0.14285714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.14285714285714) to get x
24500/0.14285714285714=x
171500=x
x=171500

now we have:
700% of 24500=171500
