Of 54.
00:03
And i'm just going to start building my equation.
00:06
So i'm told that 54 is, so is tells us equal, is 24%, 24%.
00:15
So when i'm building my equations, i don't want the percent in there.
00:20
I'm going to multiply by a decimal.
00:21
So if it's 24%, my decimal gets moved two spots to the left.
00:26
So this is going to be 54 is 24th or 24 % of what number.
00:36
So of tells me to multiply and the number is unknown.
00:39
So i can take this equation and solve.
00:41
I can also set up an is of percent 100 proportion.
00:48
Okay, so i've got my is of ratio and it's equal to the percent out of 100.
00:56
100 is our whole always.
00:58
Percents are always of 100.
01:00
So think about what we would do here with the algebraic equation.
01:03
I would then divide both sides by the 2400s to get n isolated all by itself.
01:09
Okay, that's what we're trying to solve for.
01:11
So you can see here, my number is going to come out maybe not so friendly as a decimal, possibly, maybe even a whole number...
