3.35 is what percent of 19.6 - 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 19.6 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 19.6, so we can write it down as 100%=19.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=19.6
2) x%=3.35
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%=19.6/3.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.35 is what percent of 19.6

100%/x%=19.6/3.35
(100/x)*x=(19.6/3.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8507462686567*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8507462686567) to get x
100/5.8507462686567=x
17.091836734694=x
x=17.091836734694

now we have:
3.35 is 17.091836734694% of 19.6
