30 is what percent of 44.1 - 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 44.1 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 44.1, so we can write it down as 100%=44.1.
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%=44.1
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%=44.1/30
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 44.1

100%/x%=44.1/30
(100/x)*x=(44.1/30)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.47*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.47) to get x
100/1.47=x
68.027210884354=x
x=68.027210884354

now we have:
30 is 68.027210884354% of 44.1
