3.06 is what percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9, so we can write it down as 100%=9.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9
2) x%=3.06
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%=9/3.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.06 is what percent of 9

100%/x%=9/3.06
(100/x)*x=(9/3.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9411764705882*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9411764705882) to get x
100/2.9411764705882=x
34=x
x=34

now we have:
3.06 is 34% of 9
