9.8 is what percent of 3076.92 - 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 3076.92 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 3076.92, so we can write it down as 100%=3076.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3076.92
2) x%=9.8
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%=3076.92/9.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.8 is what percent of 3076.92

100%/x%=3076.92/9.8
(100/x)*x=(3076.92/9.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=313.97142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (313.97142857143) to get x
100/313.97142857143=x
0.31850031850032=x
x=0.31850031850032

now we have:
9.8 is 0.31850031850032% of 3076.92
