38 is what percent of 930 - 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 930 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 930, so we can write it down as 100%=930.
4. We know, that x% equals 38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=930
2) x%=38
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%=930/38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 38 is what percent of 930

100%/x%=930/38
(100/x)*x=(930/38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.473684210526*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.473684210526) to get x
100/24.473684210526=x
4.0860215053763=x
x=4.0860215053763

now we have:
38 is 4.0860215053763% of 930
