316.69 is what percent of 2988 - 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 2988 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 2988, so we can write it down as 100%=2988.
4. We know, that x% equals 316.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=316.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2988
2) x%=316.69
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%=2988/316.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 316.69 is what percent of 2988

100%/x%=2988/316.69
(100/x)*x=(2988/316.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.4350942562127*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.4350942562127) to get x
100/9.4350942562127=x
10.598728246319=x
x=10.598728246319

now we have:
316.69 is 10.598728246319% of 2988
