3.02 is what percent of 204 - 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 204 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 204, so we can write it down as 100%=204.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=204
2) x%=3.02
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%=204/3.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.02 is what percent of 204

100%/x%=204/3.02
(100/x)*x=(204/3.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=67.549668874172*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (67.549668874172) to get x
100/67.549668874172=x
1.4803921568627=x
x=1.4803921568627

now we have:
3.02 is 1.4803921568627% of 204
