30.17 is what percent of 1.43 - 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 1.43 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 1.43, so we can write it down as 100%=1.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.43
2) x%=30.17
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%=1.43/30.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.17 is what percent of 1.43

100%/x%=1.43/30.17
(100/x)*x=(1.43/30.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.047398077560491*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.047398077560491) to get x
100/0.047398077560491=x
2109.7902097902=x
x=2109.7902097902

now we have:
30.17 is 2109.7902097902% of 1.43
