30.36 is what percent of 240.5 - 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 240.5 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 240.5, so we can write it down as 100%=240.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=240.5
2) x%=30.36
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%=240.5/30.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.36 is what percent of 240.5

100%/x%=240.5/30.36
(100/x)*x=(240.5/30.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.9216073781291*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9216073781291) to get x
100/7.9216073781291=x
12.623700623701=x
x=12.623700623701

now we have:
30.36 is 12.623700623701% of 240.5
