2.96 is what percent of 3.06 - 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 3.06 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 3.06, so we can write it down as 100%=3.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 2.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.06
2) x%=2.96
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%=3.06/2.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2.96 is what percent of 3.06

100%/x%=3.06/2.96
(100/x)*x=(3.06/2.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0337837837838*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0337837837838) to get x
100/1.0337837837838=x
96.732026143791=x
x=96.732026143791

now we have:
2.96 is 96.732026143791% of 3.06
