3.07 is what percent of 29.7 - 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 29.7 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 29.7, so we can write it down as 100%=29.7.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=29.7
2) x%=3.07
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%=29.7/3.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.07 is what percent of 29.7

100%/x%=29.7/3.07
(100/x)*x=(29.7/3.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.6742671009772*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.6742671009772) to get x
100/9.6742671009772=x
10.3367003367=x
x=10.3367003367

now we have:
3.07 is 10.3367003367% of 29.7
