8494.12 is what percent of 30500 - 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 30500 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 30500, so we can write it down as 100%=30500.
4. We know, that x% equals 8494.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8494.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30500
2) x%=8494.12
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%=30500/8494.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8494.12 is what percent of 30500

100%/x%=30500/8494.12
(100/x)*x=(30500/8494.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5907192269476*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5907192269476) to get x
100/3.5907192269476=x
27.849573770492=x
x=27.849573770492

now we have:
