Could anybody plz explain how this is ?

Type 1: x is y percent of n
Translation 1: x = y% — n

x is y percent of nmeans x

x is y percent of n

means x = (y*n)/100

example 3 is 50 percent of 6

in the above example: 24 is 15% of what number?

let n be the number, of which 15% is 24 then

(n * 15)/100 = 24

=> n = 24 00/15 = 160

Please let me know if you still have any doubt. . and do discuss/ask such concepts in @
