0.99 is what percent of 350 - 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 350 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 350, so we can write it down as 100%=350.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=350
2) x%=0.99
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%=350/0.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.99 is what percent of 350

100%/x%=350/0.99
(100/x)*x=(350/0.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=353.53535353535*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (353.53535353535) to get x
100/353.53535353535=x
0.28285714285714=x
x=0.28285714285714

now we have:
0.99 is 0.28285714285714% of 350
