What is 30.9 percent of 1013 - 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 1013 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 1013 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1013=100%.
4. We know, that x is 30.9% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=30.9%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1013=100%
2) x=30.9%
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:
1013/x=100%/30.9%
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 30.9% of 1013

1013/x=100/30.9
(1013/x)*x=(100/30.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1013=3.2362459546926*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2362459546926) to get x
1013/3.2362459546926=x
313.017=x
x=313.017

now we have:
30.9% of 1013=313.017
