1.31 is what percent of 30.65 - 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 30.65 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 30.65, so we can write it down as 100%=30.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30.65
2) x%=1.31
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%=30.65/1.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.31 is what percent of 30.65

100%/x%=30.65/1.31
(100/x)*x=(30.65/1.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.396946564885*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.396946564885) to get x
100/23.396946564885=x
4.2740619902121=x
x=4.2740619902121

now we have:
1.31 is 4.2740619902121% of 30.65
