113.5 is what percent of 364.2 - 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 364.2 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 364.2, so we can write it down as 100%=364.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 113.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=113.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=364.2
2) x%=113.5
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%=364.2/113.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 113.5 is what percent of 364.2

100%/x%=364.2/113.5
(100/x)*x=(364.2/113.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2088105726872*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2088105726872) to get x
100/3.2088105726872=x
31.16419549698=x
x=31.16419549698

now we have:
113.5 is 31.16419549698% of 364.2
