3.62 is what percent of 4.35 - 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 4.35 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 4.35, so we can write it down as 100%=4.35.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.35
2) x%=3.62
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%=4.35/3.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.62 is what percent of 4.35

100%/x%=4.35/3.62
(100/x)*x=(4.35/3.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2016574585635*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2016574585635) to get x
100/1.2016574585635=x
83.218390804598=x
x=83.218390804598

now we have:
3.62 is 83.218390804598% of 4.35
