23.25 is what percent of 335 - 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 335 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 335, so we can write it down as 100%=335.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=23.25
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%=335/23.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.25 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/23.25
(100/x)*x=(335/23.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.408602150538*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.408602150538) to get x
100/14.408602150538=x
6.9402985074627=x
x=6.9402985074627

now we have:
23.25 is 6.9402985074627% of 335
