3.05 is what percent of 34.09 - 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 34.09 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 34.09, so we can write it down as 100%=34.09.
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%=34.09
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%=34.09/3.05
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 34.09

100%/x%=34.09/3.05
(100/x)*x=(34.09/3.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.177049180328*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.177049180328) to get x
100/11.177049180328=x
8.9469052508067=x
x=8.9469052508067

now we have:
3.05 is 8.9469052508067% of 34.09
