11271.84 is what percent of 30000 - 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 30000 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 30000, so we can write it down as 100%=30000.
4. We know, that x% equals 11271.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11271.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=30000
2) x%=11271.84
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%=30000/11271.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 11271.84 is what percent of 30000

100%/x%=30000/11271.84
(100/x)*x=(30000/11271.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.661499808372*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.661499808372) to get x
100/2.661499808372=x
37.5728=x
x=37.5728

now we have:
11271.84 is 37.5728% of 30000
