94.8 is what percent of 299 - 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 299 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 299, so we can write it down as 100%=299.
4. We know, that x% equals 94.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=94.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=299
2) x%=94.8
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%=299/94.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 94.8 is what percent of 299

100%/x%=299/94.8
(100/x)*x=(299/94.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1540084388186*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1540084388186) to get x
100/3.1540084388186=x
31.705685618729=x
x=31.705685618729

now we have:
94.8 is 31.705685618729% of 299
