1185.34 is what percent of 3457.5 - 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 3457.5 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 3457.5, so we can write it down as 100%=3457.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1185.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1185.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3457.5
2) x%=1185.34
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%=3457.5/1185.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1185.34 is what percent of 3457.5

100%/x%=3457.5/1185.34
(100/x)*x=(3457.5/1185.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9168846069482*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9168846069482) to get x
100/2.9168846069482=x
34.283152566884=x
x=34.283152566884

now we have:
