30.47 is what percent of 36 - 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 36 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 36, so we can write it down as 100%=36.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36
2) x%=30.47
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%=36/30.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.47 is what percent of 36

100%/x%=36/30.47
(100/x)*x=(36/30.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1814899901543*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1814899901543) to get x
100/1.1814899901543=x
84.638888888889=x
x=84.638888888889

now we have:
30.47 is 84.638888888889% of 36
