0.35 is what percent of 53.05 - 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 53.05 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 53.05, so we can write it down as 100%=53.05.
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%=53.05
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%=53.05/0.35
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 53.05

100%/x%=53.05/0.35
(100/x)*x=(53.05/0.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=151.57142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (151.57142857143) to get x
100/151.57142857143=x
0.65975494816211=x
x=0.65975494816211

now we have:
0.35 is 0.65975494816211% of 53.05
