1.27 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 1.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=350
2) x%=1.27
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%=350/1.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.27 is what percent of 350

100%/x%=350/1.27
(100/x)*x=(350/1.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=275.5905511811*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (275.5905511811) to get x
100/275.5905511811=x
0.36285714285714=x
x=0.36285714285714

now we have:
1.27 is 0.36285714285714% of 350
