What is 57.7 percent of 24.6 - 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 24.6 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 24.6 is 100%, so we can write it down as 24.6=100%.
4. We know, that x is 57.7% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=57.7%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 24.6=100%
2) x=57.7%
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:
24.6/x=100%/57.7%
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 57.7% of 24.6

24.6/x=100/57.7
(24.6/x)*x=(100/57.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
24.6=1.7331022530329*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7331022530329) to get x
24.6/1.7331022530329=x
14.1942=x
x=14.1942

now we have:
57.7% of 24.6=14.1942
