30.02 is what percent of 69.97 - 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 69.97 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 69.97, so we can write it down as 100%=69.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=69.97
2) x%=30.02
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%=69.97/30.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.02 is what percent of 69.97

100%/x%=69.97/30.02
(100/x)*x=(69.97/30.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3307794803464*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3307794803464) to get x
100/2.3307794803464=x
42.904101757896=x
x=42.904101757896

now we have:
30.02 is 42.904101757896% of 69.97
