3.43 is what percent of 15.57 - 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 15.57 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 15.57, so we can write it down as 100%=15.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.57
2) x%=3.43
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%=15.57/3.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.43 is what percent of 15.57

100%/x%=15.57/3.43
(100/x)*x=(15.57/3.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.5393586005831*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.5393586005831) to get x
100/4.5393586005831=x
22.029543994862=x
x=22.029543994862

now we have:
3.43 is 22.029543994862% of 15.57
