3.35 is what percent of 7.95 - 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 7.95 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 7.95, so we can write it down as 100%=7.95.
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%=7.95
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%=7.95/3.35
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 7.95

100%/x%=7.95/3.35
(100/x)*x=(7.95/3.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3731343283582*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3731343283582) to get x
100/2.3731343283582=x
42.138364779874=x
x=42.138364779874

now we have:
3.35 is 42.138364779874% of 7.95
