What is 86.9565 percent of 24000 - 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 24000 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 24000 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24000=100%.
4. We know, that x is 86.9565% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=86.9565%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24000=100%
2) x=86.9565%
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:
24000/x=100%/86.9565%
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 86.9565% of 24000

24000/x=100/86.9565
(24000/x)*x=(100/86.9565)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24000=1.1500002875001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1500002875001) to get x
24000/1.1500002875001=x
20869.56=x
x=20869.56

now we have:
86.9565% of 24000=20869.56
