0.35 is what percent of 1.21 - 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 1.21 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 1.21, so we can write it down as 100%=1.21.
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%=1.21
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%=1.21/0.35
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 1.21

100%/x%=1.21/0.35
(100/x)*x=(1.21/0.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4571428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4571428571429) to get x
100/3.4571428571429=x
28.925619834711=x
x=28.925619834711

now we have:
0.35 is 28.925619834711% of 1.21
