1330 is what percent of 3120 - 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 3120 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 3120, so we can write it down as 100%=3120.
4. We know, that x% equals 1330 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1330.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3120
2) x%=1330
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%=3120/1330
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1330 is what percent of 3120

100%/x%=3120/1330
(100/x)*x=(3120/1330)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3458646616541*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3458646616541) to get x
100/2.3458646616541=x
42.628205128205=x
x=42.628205128205

now we have:
1330 is 42.628205128205% of 3120
