What is 30.6 percent of 101 - 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 101 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 101 is 100%, so we can write it down as 101=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30.6% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30.6%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 101=100%
2) x=30.6%
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:
101/x=100%/30.6%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 30.6% of 101

101/x=100/30.6
(101/x)*x=(100/30.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
101=3.2679738562092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2679738562092) to get x
101/3.2679738562092=x
30.906=x
x=30.906

now we have:
30.6% of 101=30.906
