209.99 is what percent of 3.596 - 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 3.596 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 3.596, so we can write it down as 100%=3.596.
4. We know, that x% equals 209.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=209.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.596
2) x%=209.99
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%=3.596/209.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 209.99 is what percent of 3.596

100%/x%=3.596/209.99
(100/x)*x=(3.596/209.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.017124624982142*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.017124624982142) to get x
100/0.017124624982142=x
5839.5439377086=x
x=5839.5439377086

now we have:
209.99 is 5839.5439377086% of 3.596
