30.96 is what percent of 131.68 - 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 131.68 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 131.68, so we can write it down as 100%=131.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=131.68
2) x%=30.96
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%=131.68/30.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.96 is what percent of 131.68

100%/x%=131.68/30.96
(100/x)*x=(131.68/30.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2532299741602*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2532299741602) to get x
100/4.2532299741602=x
23.511543134872=x
x=23.511543134872

now we have:
30.96 is 23.511543134872% of 131.68
