3.571 is what percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.571 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.571.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=3.571
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%=1/3.571
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.571 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/3.571
(100/x)*x=(1/3.571)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.28003360403248*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.28003360403248) to get x
100/0.28003360403248=x
357.1=x
x=357.1

now we have:
3.571 is 357.1% of 1
