2915 is what percent of 3094 - 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 3094 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 3094, so we can write it down as 100%=3094.
4. We know, that x% equals 2915 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2915.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3094
2) x%=2915
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%=3094/2915
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2915 is what percent of 3094

100%/x%=3094/2915
(100/x)*x=(3094/2915)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0614065180103*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0614065180103) to get x
100/1.0614065180103=x
94.214608920491=x
x=94.214608920491

now we have:
2915 is 94.214608920491% of 3094
