115.65 is what percent of 361 - 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 361 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 361, so we can write it down as 100%=361.
4. We know, that x% equals 115.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=115.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=361
2) x%=115.65
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%=361/115.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 115.65 is what percent of 361

100%/x%=361/115.65
(100/x)*x=(361/115.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1214872460009*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1214872460009) to get x
100/3.1214872460009=x
32.036011080332=x
x=32.036011080332

now we have:
115.65 is 32.036011080332% of 361
