1 is what percent of 3001 - 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 3001 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 3001, so we can write it down as 100%=3001.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3001
2) x%=1
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%=3001/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 3001

100%/x%=3001/1
(100/x)*x=(3001/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3001*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3001) to get x
100/3001=x
0.033322225924692=x
x=0.033322225924692

now we have:
1 is 0.033322225924692% of 3001
