3005.2 is what percent of 31 - 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 31 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 31, so we can write it down as 100%=31.
4. We know, that x% equals 3005.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3005.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31
2) x%=3005.2
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%=31/3005.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3005.2 is what percent of 31

100%/x%=31/3005.2
(100/x)*x=(31/3005.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.010315453214428*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.010315453214428) to get x
100/0.010315453214428=x
9694.1935483871=x
x=9694.1935483871

now we have:
3005.2 is 9694.1935483871% of 31
