24.41 is what percent of 169.99 - 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 169.99 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 169.99, so we can write it down as 100%=169.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=169.99
2) x%=24.41
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%=169.99/24.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.41 is what percent of 169.99

100%/x%=169.99/24.41
(100/x)*x=(169.99/24.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.96394920115*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.96394920115) to get x
100/6.96394920115=x
14.3596682158=x
x=14.3596682158

now we have:
24.41 is 14.3596682158% of 169.99
