0.35 is what percent of 0.91 - 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 0.91 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 0.91, so we can write it down as 100%=0.91.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.91
2) x%=0.35
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%=0.91/0.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.35 is what percent of 0.91

100%/x%=0.91/0.35
(100/x)*x=(0.91/0.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6) to get x
100/2.6=x
38.461538461538=x
x=38.461538461538

now we have:
0.35 is 38.461538461538% of 0.91
