What is 24.2 percent of 59.29 - 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 59.29 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 59.29 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59.29=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.2% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.2%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59.29=100%
2) x=24.2%
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:
59.29/x=100%/24.2%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 24.2% of 59.29

59.29/x=100/24.2
(59.29/x)*x=(100/24.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59.29=4.13223140496*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.13223140496) to get x
59.29/4.13223140496=x
14.34818=x
x=14.34818

now we have:
24.2% of 59.29=14.34818
