93.5 is what percent of 301.2 - 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 301.2 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 301.2, so we can write it down as 100%=301.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 93.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=93.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=301.2
2) x%=93.5
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%=301.2/93.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 93.5 is what percent of 301.2

100%/x%=301.2/93.5
(100/x)*x=(301.2/93.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2213903743316*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2213903743316) to get x
100/3.2213903743316=x
31.042496679947=x
x=31.042496679947

now we have:
93.5 is 31.042496679947% of 301.2
