93.5 is what percent of 306 - 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 306 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 306, so we can write it down as 100%=306.
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%=306
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%=306/93.5
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 306

100%/x%=306/93.5
(100/x)*x=(306/93.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2727272727273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2727272727273) to get x
100/3.2727272727273=x
30.555555555556=x
x=30.555555555556

now we have:
93.5 is 30.555555555556% of 306
