302.5 is what percent of 335 - 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 335 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 335, so we can write it down as 100%=335.
4. We know, that x% equals 302.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=302.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=335
2) x%=302.5
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%=335/302.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 302.5 is what percent of 335

100%/x%=335/302.5
(100/x)*x=(335/302.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1074380165289*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1074380165289) to get x
100/1.1074380165289=x
90.298507462687=x
x=90.298507462687

now we have:
302.5 is 90.298507462687% of 335
