30.2 is what percent of 45 - 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 45 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 45, so we can write it down as 100%=45.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45
2) x%=30.2
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%=45/30.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.2 is what percent of 45

100%/x%=45/30.2
(100/x)*x=(45/30.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4900662251656*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4900662251656) to get x
100/1.4900662251656=x
67.111111111111=x
x=67.111111111111

now we have:
30.2 is 67.111111111111% of 45
