9138.5 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 9138.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9138.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30500
2) x%=9138.5
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%=30500/9138.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9138.5 is what percent of 30500

100%/x%=30500/9138.5
(100/x)*x=(30500/9138.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3375280407069*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3375280407069) to get x
100/3.3375280407069=x
29.962295081967=x
x=29.962295081967

now we have:
9138.5 is 29.962295081967% of 30500
