95.75 is what percent of 31 - 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 31 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 31, so we can write it down as 100%=31.
4. We know, that x% equals 95.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=95.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31
2) x%=95.75
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%=31/95.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 95.75 is what percent of 31

100%/x%=31/95.75
(100/x)*x=(31/95.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.32375979112272*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.32375979112272) to get x
100/0.32375979112272=x
308.87096774194=x
x=308.87096774194

now we have:
95.75 is 308.87096774194% of 31
