30.45 is what percent of 1522.49 - 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 1522.49 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 1522.49, so we can write it down as 100%=1522.49.
4. We know, that x% equals 30.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=30.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1522.49
2) x%=30.45
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%=1522.49/30.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 30.45 is what percent of 1522.49

100%/x%=1522.49/30.45
(100/x)*x=(1522.49/30.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=49.999671592775*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (49.999671592775) to get x
100/49.999671592775=x
2.0000131363753=x
x=2.0000131363753

now we have:
