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.

Let the pie chart 1 = 100.

1/10 of 100 (skin)= 10%.

Now it is self explicit.

What is x% of Proteins is Skin
CONVERT the sentence into algebra. X% x P = S

X% x 24%=(1/10)

(X/100) x (24/100)= (1/10)

X=41.6%

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%

x24/100=1/10
and x=(10/24)*100(because he is asking is %)
there fore x=41.66%
