24.51 is what percent of 126.29 - 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 126.29 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 126.29, so we can write it down as 100%=126.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 24.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=24.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=126.29
2) x%=24.51
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%=126.29/24.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 24.51 is what percent of 126.29

100%/x%=126.29/24.51
(100/x)*x=(126.29/24.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.1525907792738*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.1525907792738) to get x
100/5.1525907792738=x
19.40771240795=x
x=19.40771240795

now we have:
24.51 is 19.40771240795% of 126.29
