57 is what percent of 24335 - 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 24335 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 24335, so we can write it down as 100%=24335.
4. We know, that x% equals 57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=24335
2) x%=57
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%=24335/57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57 is what percent of 24335

100%/x%=24335/57
(100/x)*x=(24335/57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=426.9298245614*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (426.9298245614) to get x
100/426.9298245614=x
0.23423053215533=x
x=0.23423053215533

now we have:
57 is 0.23423053215533% of 24335
