1.77 is what percent of 35.95 - 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 35.95 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 35.95, so we can write it down as 100%=35.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35.95
2) x%=1.77
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%=35.95/1.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.77 is what percent of 35.95

100%/x%=35.95/1.77
(100/x)*x=(35.95/1.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.310734463277*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.310734463277) to get x
100/20.310734463277=x
4.923504867872=x
x=4.923504867872

now we have:
1.77 is 4.923504867872% of 35.95
