199.26 is what percent of 350 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=350.
4. We know, that x% equals 199.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=199.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=350
2) x%=199.26
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%=350/199.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 199.26 is what percent of 350

100%/x%=350/199.26
(100/x)*x=(350/199.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7564990464719*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7564990464719) to get x
100/1.7564990464719=x
56.931428571429=x
x=56.931428571429

now we have:
199.26 is 56.931428571429% of 350
