949.3 is what percent of 1307 - 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 1307 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 1307, so we can write it down as 100%=1307.
4. We know, that x% equals 949.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=949.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1307
2) x%=949.3
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%=1307/949.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 949.3 is what percent of 1307

100%/x%=1307/949.3
(100/x)*x=(1307/949.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3768039608132*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3768039608132) to get x
100/1.3768039608132=x
72.631981637337=x
x=72.631981637337

now we have:
949.3 is 72.631981637337% of 1307
