3.08 is what percent of 7.07 - 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 7.07 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 7.07, so we can write it down as 100%=7.07.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.07
2) x%=3.08
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%=7.07/3.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.08 is what percent of 7.07

100%/x%=7.07/3.08
(100/x)*x=(7.07/3.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2954545454545*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2954545454545) to get x
100/2.2954545454545=x
43.564356435644=x
x=43.564356435644

now we have:
3.08 is 43.564356435644% of 7.07
