189.28 is what percent of 350.99 - 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 350.99 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 350.99, so we can write it down as 100%=350.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 189.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=189.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=350.99
2) x%=189.28
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%=350.99/189.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 189.28 is what percent of 350.99

100%/x%=350.99/189.28
(100/x)*x=(350.99/189.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.854342772612*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.854342772612) to get x
100/1.854342772612=x
53.927462320864=x
x=53.927462320864

now we have:
