30.99 is what percent of 335 - 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 335 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 335, so we can write it down as 100%=335.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=30.99
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%=335/30.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.99 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/30.99
(100/x)*x=(335/30.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.8099386899*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.8099386899) to get x
100/10.8099386899=x
9.2507462686567=x
x=9.2507462686567

now we have:
30.99 is 9.2507462686567% of 335
