3.05 is what percent of 38000 - 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 38000 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 38000, so we can write it down as 100%=38000.
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%=38000
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%=38000/3.05
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 38000

100%/x%=38000/3.05
(100/x)*x=(38000/3.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12459.016393443*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12459.016393443) to get x
100/12459.016393443=x
0.0080263157894737=x
x=0.0080263157894737

now we have:
3.05 is 0.0080263157894737% of 38000
