28.48 is what percent of 30 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=30.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30
2) x%=28.48
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%=30/28.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.48 is what percent of 30

100%/x%=30/28.48
(100/x)*x=(30/28.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0533707865169*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0533707865169) to get x
100/1.0533707865169=x
94.933333333333=x
x=94.933333333333

now we have:
28.48 is 94.933333333333% of 30
