175.37 is what percent of 347.68 - 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 347.68 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 347.68, so we can write it down as 100%=347.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 175.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=175.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=347.68
2) x%=175.37
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%=347.68/175.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 175.37 is what percent of 347.68

100%/x%=347.68/175.37
(100/x)*x=(347.68/175.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9825511775104*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9825511775104) to get x
100/1.9825511775104=x
50.440059825127=x
x=50.440059825127

now we have:
