3.55 is what percent of 95.3 - 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 95.3 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 95.3, so we can write it down as 100%=95.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=95.3
2) x%=3.55
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%=95.3/3.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.55 is what percent of 95.3

100%/x%=95.3/3.55
(100/x)*x=(95.3/3.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.845070422535*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.845070422535) to get x
100/26.845070422535=x
3.7250786988458=x
x=3.7250786988458

now we have:
3.55 is 3.7250786988458% of 95.3
