130.3 is what percent of 359.79 - 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 359.79 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 359.79, so we can write it down as 100%=359.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 130.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=130.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=359.79
2) x%=130.3
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%=359.79/130.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 130.3 is what percent of 359.79

100%/x%=359.79/130.3
(100/x)*x=(359.79/130.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7612432847276*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7612432847276) to get x
100/2.7612432847276=x
36.215570193724=x
x=36.215570193724

now we have:
130.3 is 36.215570193724% of 359.79
