29.63 is what percent of 310 - 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 310 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 310, so we can write it down as 100%=310.
4. We know, that x% equals 29.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=29.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=310
2) x%=29.63
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%=310/29.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 29.63 is what percent of 310

100%/x%=310/29.63
(100/x)*x=(310/29.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.462369220385*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.462369220385) to get x
100/10.462369220385=x
9.558064516129=x
x=9.558064516129

now we have:
29.63 is 9.558064516129% of 310
