0.3 is what percent of 1.34 - 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 1.34 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 1.34, so we can write it down as 100%=1.34.
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%=1.34
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%=1.34/0.3
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 1.34

100%/x%=1.34/0.3
(100/x)*x=(1.34/0.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4666666666667) to get x
100/4.4666666666667=x
22.388059701493=x
x=22.388059701493

now we have:
0.3 is 22.388059701493% of 1.34
