Let x be the total body weight which is equal to pie charts.
Weight of proteins in body = (x * 24/100) --> (0.24x) (according to pie chart 2) --> 1.
Weight of skin =x* (1/10) -->>(0.1x) (according to pie chart 1) --> 2.
--> Required what % of proteins in the human body is = to the weight of its skin.
Let p% of proteins weight = weight of skin.
P/100* (0.24x) = 0.1 x From 1& 2 equations.
P = (0.1x / 0.24x) * 100.
P = 41.66.
Weight of proteins in body = (x * 24/100) --> (0.24x) (according to pie chart 2) --> 1.
Weight of skin =x* (1/10) -->>(0.1x) (according to pie chart 1) --> 2.

P = 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.

Question asks about the percentage of protein which is equal to that of the skin.
Now, lets find x% of protein.
24/100 * x/100.
Questions says the above value is equal to 1/10 (weight of skin).
Now, equate the equation to 1/10 and you will get the value of x which will be 41.66.
Now, lets find x% of protein.
24/100 * x/100.
Questions says the above value is equal to 1/10 (weight of skin).
Now, equate the equation to 1/10 and you will get the value of x which will be 41.66.

Let weight of body be x.
So the weight of proteins will be x(24/100).
They asked what % of proteins EQUIVALENT to weight of skin,
So x(24/100)=(1/10) => x=(10/24) = 0.416.
To express this in terms of %, you say (.416*100)% which is 41.6%

Total percentage is 100.
Water + Other + Protein = 100%.
1. Water = 65%.
2. Protein = 24%.
3. Other = 11%.
Remaining is 10%.
Now calculate the protein percentage.
Solution:
(Remaining 10/protein 24) * (total 100).
Answer: 41.667%.
Water + Other + Protein = 100%.
1. Water = 65%.
2. Protein = 24%.
3. Other = 11%.
Remaining is 10%.
Now calculate the protein percentage.
Solution:
(Remaining 10/protein 24) * (total 100).
Answer: 41.667%.

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.
Let total weight equal to w then;
24/100x w = 1/10x100.
now 24w/100 = 10.
hence w = 1000/24,
250/6 = 41.666.

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.
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.

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.
So, 24% of x = (1/10)of 100%.
24 * x/100=10,
x=10*100/24=>41.6
That's it.

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.
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.

Wait = x.
x(24/10 )= 1/10.
x = (1/10)/(24/100).
also you can write it x = (1/10)*(100/24).
=1*10/24 = 10/24 = .4166 if we want % so .4166*100 = 41.66%.
x(24/10 )= 1/10.
x = (1/10)/(24/100).
also you can write it x = (1/10)*(100/24).
=1*10/24 = 10/24 = .4166 if we want % so .4166*100 = 41.66%.
