129.99 is what percent of 354.23 - 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 354.23 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 354.23, so we can write it down as 100%=354.23.
4. We know, that x% equals 129.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=129.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=354.23
2) x%=129.99
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%=354.23/129.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 129.99 is what percent of 354.23

100%/x%=354.23/129.99
(100/x)*x=(354.23/129.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.725055773521*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.725055773521) to get x
100/2.725055773521=x
36.696496626486=x
x=36.696496626486

now we have:
