302.84 is what percent of 989 - 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 989 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 989, so we can write it down as 100%=989.
4. We know, that x% equals 302.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=302.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=989
2) x%=302.84
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%=989/302.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 302.84 is what percent of 989

100%/x%=989/302.84
(100/x)*x=(989/302.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2657508915599*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2657508915599) to get x
100/3.2657508915599=x
30.620829120324=x
x=30.620829120324

now we have:
302.84 is 30.620829120324% of 989
