31.07 is what percent of 30 - 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 30 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 30, so we can write it down as 100%=30.
4. We know, that x% equals 31.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=31.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30
2) x%=31.07
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%=30/31.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 31.07 is what percent of 30

100%/x%=30/31.07
(100/x)*x=(30/31.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.9655616350177*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.9655616350177) to get x
100/0.9655616350177=x
103.56666666667=x
x=103.56666666667

now we have:
31.07 is 103.56666666667% of 30
