1.36 is what percent of 354.9 - 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 354.9 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 354.9, so we can write it down as 100%=354.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=354.9
2) x%=1.36
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%=354.9/1.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.36 is what percent of 354.9

100%/x%=354.9/1.36
(100/x)*x=(354.9/1.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=260.95588235294*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (260.95588235294) to get x
100/260.95588235294=x
0.38320653705269=x
x=0.38320653705269

now we have:
1.36 is 0.38320653705269% of 354.9
