3.49 is what percent of 210 - 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 210 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 210, so we can write it down as 100%=210.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=210
2) x%=3.49
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%=210/3.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.49 is what percent of 210

100%/x%=210/3.49
(100/x)*x=(210/3.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=60.171919770774*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (60.171919770774) to get x
100/60.171919770774=x
1.6619047619048=x
x=1.6619047619048

now we have:
3.49 is 1.6619047619048% of 210
