286.25 is what percent of 30000 - 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 30000 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 30000, so we can write it down as 100%=30000.
4. We know, that x% equals 286.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=286.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30000
2) x%=286.25
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%=30000/286.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 286.25 is what percent of 30000

100%/x%=30000/286.25
(100/x)*x=(30000/286.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=104.80349344978*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (104.80349344978) to get x
100/104.80349344978=x
0.95416666666667=x
x=0.95416666666667

now we have:
286.25 is 0.95416666666667% of 30000
