1.18 is what percent of 30.95 - 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 30.95 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 30.95, so we can write it down as 100%=30.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.18 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.18.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30.95
2) x%=1.18
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%=30.95/1.18
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.18 is what percent of 30.95

100%/x%=30.95/1.18
(100/x)*x=(30.95/1.18)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.228813559322*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.228813559322) to get x
100/26.228813559322=x
3.8126009693053=x
x=3.8126009693053

now we have:
1.18 is 3.8126009693053% of 30.95
