29802.3 is what 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 100% equals 24000, so we can write it down as 100%=24000.
4. We know, that x% equals 29802.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29802.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24000
2) x%=29802.3
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%=24000/29802.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29802.3 is what percent of 24000

100%/x%=24000/29802.3
(100/x)*x=(24000/29802.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.80530697295175*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.80530697295175) to get x
100/0.80530697295175=x
124.17625=x
x=124.17625

now we have:
29802.3 is 124.17625% of 24000
