What is 24.59 percent of 21.96 - 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 21.96 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 21.96 is 100%, so we can write it down as 21.96=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.59% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.59%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 21.96=100%
2) x=24.59%
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:
21.96/x=100%/24.59%
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 24.59% of 21.96

21.96/x=100/24.59
(21.96/x)*x=(100/24.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
21.96=4.0666937779585*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0666937779585) to get x
21.96/4.0666937779585=x
5.399964=x
x=5.399964

now we have:
24.59% of 21.96=5.399964
