0.3 is what percent of 0.0243 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 0.0243 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 0.0243, so we can write it down as 100%=0.0243.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.0243
2) x%=0.3
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=0.0243/0.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.3 is what percent of 0.0243

100%/x%=0.0243/0.3
(100/x)*x=(0.0243/0.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.081*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.081) to get x
100/0.081=x
1234.5679012346=x
x=1234.5679012346

now we have:
0.3 is 1234.5679012346% of 0.0243
