In question, given that protein is equal to the weight of its skin which means.
Let total weight equal to w then;
24/100x w = 1/10x100.
now 24w/100 = 10.
hence w = 1000/24,
250/6 = 41.666.

The wieght of the skin = 1/10.
convert in to percentage i.e= 1/10*100 = 10%.

Then
Protein is 24 % that is given in question;
So (10 / 24 ) * 100 = 41.66.

Simply the solution is;

Convert the statement into the following expression which is basic.

What % of protein of the human body is equivalent to wight of the skin ( pie chart 1 is weight distribution).

x/100 (what %) of 24/100 (protein 24% = 24/100) = 1/10.
x/100 * 24/100 = 1/10.
= 41.66.

x is the total percentage of protein.
Convert to percentage i.e 1/10*100 = 10.

24%x = 10%
24/100 * x = 10,
x = 10/24*100,
x = 41.6666667%.

How many of 24 x protein is equal to 1/10 of skin.
24x/ 100 = 10/100,
2400x= 1000,
X= 0.4166.
Thus, 0.4166 * 100 = 41.66.

They have asked the percentage when the percentage of proteins equals the percentage of skin.
So, 24% of x = (1/10)of 100%.
24 * x/100=10,
x=10*100/24=>41.6
That's it.

Suppose x percent of 24% protein = 1/10,
x*(24/100)=(1/10).
x=(100*1)/(24*10)*100 (as they are asking in percent),
x=41.6.

Now first skin 1/10 = protein 24%.

Now 24/100 to move inside so 100/24*1/10 = ans is 416666 then total human body 100% that's why 100*.41666.

So final answer is 41.6666.

The question actually is this that "what is the percentage of protein with respect of weight of skin?".
