1004.31 is what percent of 3261.5 - 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 3261.5 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 3261.5, so we can write it down as 100%=3261.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1004.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1004.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3261.5
2) x%=1004.31
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%=3261.5/1004.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1004.31 is what percent of 3261.5

100%/x%=3261.5/1004.31
(100/x)*x=(3261.5/1004.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2475032609453*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2475032609453) to get x
100/3.2475032609453=x
30.79288670857=x
x=30.79288670857

now we have:
1004.31 is 30.79288670857% of 3261.5
