30 is what percent of 36127 - 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 36127 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 36127, so we can write it down as 100%=36127.
4. We know, that x% equals 30 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36127
2) x%=30
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%=36127/30
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30 is what percent of 36127

100%/x%=36127/30
(100/x)*x=(36127/30)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1204.2333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1204.2333333333) to get x
100/1204.2333333333=x
0.083040385307388=x
x=0.083040385307388

now we have:
30 is 0.083040385307388% of 36127
