270.12 is what percent of 9.004 - 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 9.004 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 9.004, so we can write it down as 100%=9.004.
4. We know, that x% equals 270.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=270.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9.004
2) x%=270.12
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%=9.004/270.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 270.12 is what percent of 9.004

100%/x%=9.004/270.12
(100/x)*x=(9.004/270.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.033333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.033333333333333) to get x
100/0.033333333333333=x
3000=x
x=3000

now we have:
270.12 is 3000% of 9.004
