17.95 is what percent of 35.79 - 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 35.79 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 35.79, so we can write it down as 100%=35.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35.79
2) x%=17.95
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%=35.79/17.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.95 is what percent of 35.79

100%/x%=35.79/17.95
(100/x)*x=(35.79/17.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9938718662953*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9938718662953) to get x
100/1.9938718662953=x
50.153674210673=x
x=50.153674210673

now we have:
17.95 is 50.153674210673% of 35.79
