84.96 is what percent of 302.08 - 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 302.08 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 302.08, so we can write it down as 100%=302.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 84.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=84.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=302.08
2) x%=84.96
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%=302.08/84.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 84.96 is what percent of 302.08

100%/x%=302.08/84.96
(100/x)*x=(302.08/84.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5555555555556) to get x
100/3.5555555555556=x
28.125=x
x=28.125

now we have:
84.96 is 28.125% of 302.08
