Answer:
the answer is 3.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Our output value is 24.
Step 2: We represent the unknown value with $x$.
Step 3: From step 1 above,$24=100\%$.
Step 4: Similarly, $x=15\%$.
Step 5: This results in a pair of simple equations:
24=100% (1)
x=15 (2)
Step 6: By dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and noting that both the RHS (right hand side) of both
equations have the same unit (%); we have
$\frac{24}{x}=\frac{100\%}{15\%}$
Step 7: Again, the reciprocal of both sides gives
$\frac{x}{24}=\frac{15}{100}$
$\Rightarrow x=3.6$
Therefore, $15\%$ of $24$ is $3.6$
