234.75 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 234.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=234.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=350
2) x%=234.75
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%=350/234.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 234.75 is what percent of 350

100%/x%=350/234.75
(100/x)*x=(350/234.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4909478168264*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4909478168264) to get x
100/1.4909478168264=x
67.071428571429=x
x=67.071428571429

now we have:
234.75 is 67.071428571429% of 350
