Answer 2

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 48 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 100% equals 48, so we can write it down as 100%=48.

4. We know, that x% equals 2.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.4.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=48

2) x%=2.4

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:

100%/x%=48/2.4

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.4 is what percent of 48

100%/x%=48/2.4

(100/x)*x=(48/2.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=20*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20) to get x

100/20=x

5=x

x=5

now we have:

2.4 is 5% of 48
