24 is what percent of 2595 - 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 2595 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 100% equals 2595, so we can write it down as 100%=2595.
4. We know, that x% equals 24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2595
2) x%=24
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:
100%/x%=2595/24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24 is what percent of 2595

100%/x%=2595/24
(100/x)*x=(2595/24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=108.125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (108.125) to get x
100/108.125=x
0.92485549132948=x
x=0.92485549132948

now we have:
24 is 0.92485549132948% of 2595
