What is 74.1 percent of 24.93 - 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 24.93 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 24.93 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24.93=100%.
4. We know, that x is 74.1% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=74.1%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24.93=100%
2) x=74.1%
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:
24.93/x=100%/74.1%
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 74.1% of 24.93

24.93/x=100/74.1
(24.93/x)*x=(100/74.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24.93=1.3495276653171*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3495276653171) to get x
24.93/1.3495276653171=x
18.47313=x
x=18.47313

now we have:
74.1% of 24.93=18.47313
