Answer:

94.248 is 30.6% of 308.

Explanation:

The given problem asks us to find the number that represents the "whole" for which 94.248 is the 30.6% of its portion or "part."

In order to find that number, we must first transform 30.6% into its decimal form by moving the decimal point two places to the left:

30.6% ⇒ 0.306

Next, we must divide 94.248 by 0.306 to find the unknown number (because the opposite mathematical operation of multiplication is division):


\displaystyle\mathsf{(94.248)/(0.306)\:=\:308}

In order to verify whether 308 is the correct value of the unknown number that represents the "whole," simply multiply 94.248 by 0.306:

94.248 × 0.306 = 308

Therefore, 94.248 is 30.6% of 308.
