30.5 is what percent of 1348 - 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 1348 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 1348, so we can write it down as 100%=1348.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1348
2) x%=30.5
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%=1348/30.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.5 is what percent of 1348

100%/x%=1348/30.5
(100/x)*x=(1348/30.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=44.196721311475*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (44.196721311475) to get x
100/44.196721311475=x
2.2626112759644=x
x=2.2626112759644

now we have:
30.5 is 2.2626112759644% of 1348
