3.47 is what percent of 14.35 - 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 14.35 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 14.35, so we can write it down as 100%=14.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.47 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.47.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=14.35
2) x%=3.47
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%=14.35/3.47
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.47 is what percent of 14.35

100%/x%=14.35/3.47
(100/x)*x=(14.35/3.47)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.135446685879*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.135446685879) to get x
100/4.135446685879=x
24.18118466899=x
x=24.18118466899

now we have:
3.47 is 24.18118466899% of 14.35
