103.2 is what percent of 356 - 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 356 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 356, so we can write it down as 100%=356.
4. We know, that x% equals 103.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=103.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=356
2) x%=103.2
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%=356/103.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 103.2 is what percent of 356

100%/x%=356/103.2
(100/x)*x=(356/103.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.4496124031008*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.4496124031008) to get x
100/3.4496124031008=x
28.988764044944=x
x=28.988764044944

now we have:
103.2 is 28.988764044944% of 356
