17.56 is what percent of 351.3 - 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 351.3 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 351.3, so we can write it down as 100%=351.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=351.3
2) x%=17.56
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%=351.3/17.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.56 is what percent of 351.3

100%/x%=351.3/17.56
(100/x)*x=(351.3/17.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.00569476082*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.00569476082) to get x
100/20.00569476082=x
4.9985767150584=x
x=4.9985767150584

now we have:
17.56 is 4.9985767150584% of 351.3
