72.94 is what percent of 31.072 - 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 31.072 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 31.072, so we can write it down as 100%=31.072.
4. We know, that x% equals 72.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=72.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31.072
2) x%=72.94
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%=31.072/72.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 72.94 is what percent of 31.072

100%/x%=31.072/72.94
(100/x)*x=(31.072/72.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.42599396764464*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.42599396764464) to get x
100/0.42599396764464=x
234.74510813594=x
x=234.74510813594

now we have:
72.94 is 234.74510813594% of 31.072
