What is 24.999996 percent of 2.35 - 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 2.35 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 2.35 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.35=100%.
4. We know, that x is 24.999996% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=24.999996%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.35=100%
2) x=24.999996%
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:
2.35/x=100%/24.999996%
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 24.999996% of 2.35

2.35/x=100/24.999996
(2.35/x)*x=(100/24.999996)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.35=4.0000006400001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.0000006400001) to get x
2.35/4.0000006400001=x
0.587499906=x
x=0.587499906

now we have:
24.999996% of 2.35=0.587499906
