1.31 is what percent of 34.99 - 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 34.99 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 34.99, so we can write it down as 100%=34.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=34.99
2) x%=1.31
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%=34.99/1.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.31 is what percent of 34.99

100%/x%=34.99/1.31
(100/x)*x=(34.99/1.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.709923664122*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.709923664122) to get x
100/26.709923664122=x
3.7439268362389=x
x=3.7439268362389

now we have:
1.31 is 3.7439268362389% of 34.99
