30.15 is what percent of 56.68 - 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 56.68 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 56.68, so we can write it down as 100%=56.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=56.68
2) x%=30.15
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%=56.68/30.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.15 is what percent of 56.68

100%/x%=56.68/30.15
(100/x)*x=(56.68/30.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8799336650083*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8799336650083) to get x
100/1.8799336650083=x
53.193366266761=x
x=53.193366266761

now we have:
30.15 is 53.193366266761% of 56.68
