30.32 is what percent of 488.97 - 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 488.97 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 488.97, so we can write it down as 100%=488.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=488.97
2) x%=30.32
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%=488.97/30.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.32 is what percent of 488.97

100%/x%=488.97/30.32
(100/x)*x=(488.97/30.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.126978891821*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.126978891821) to get x
100/16.126978891821=x
6.2007894144835=x
x=6.2007894144835

now we have:
30.32 is 6.2007894144835% of 488.97
