3.05 is what percent of 172.81 - 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 172.81 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 172.81, so we can write it down as 100%=172.81.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=172.81
2) x%=3.05
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%=172.81/3.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.05 is what percent of 172.81

100%/x%=172.81/3.05
(100/x)*x=(172.81/3.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=56.659016393443*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (56.659016393443) to get x
100/56.659016393443=x
1.7649441583242=x
x=1.7649441583242

now we have:
3.05 is 1.7649441583242% of 172.81
