1162.41 is what percent of 3500 - 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 3500 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 3500, so we can write it down as 100%=3500.
4. We know, that x% equals 1162.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1162.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3500
2) x%=1162.41
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%=3500/1162.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1162.41 is what percent of 3500

100%/x%=3500/1162.41
(100/x)*x=(3500/1162.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0109857967499*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0109857967499) to get x
100/3.0109857967499=x
33.211714285714=x
x=33.211714285714

now we have:
1162.41 is 33.211714285714% of 3500
