308.24 is what percent of 8912 - 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 8912 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 8912, so we can write it down as 100%=8912.
4. We know, that x% equals 308.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=308.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8912
2) x%=308.24
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%=8912/308.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 308.24 is what percent of 8912

100%/x%=8912/308.24
(100/x)*x=(8912/308.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=28.912535686478*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (28.912535686478) to get x
100/28.912535686478=x
3.4587073608618=x
x=3.4587073608618

now we have:
