37.13 is what percent of 30.08 - 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 30.08 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 30.08, so we can write it down as 100%=30.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 37.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30.08
2) x%=37.13
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%=30.08/37.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37.13 is what percent of 30.08

100%/x%=30.08/37.13
(100/x)*x=(30.08/37.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.81012658227848*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.81012658227848) to get x
100/0.81012658227848=x
123.4375=x
x=123.4375

now we have:
37.13 is 123.4375% of 30.08
