308.89 is what percent of 350.8 - 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 350.8 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 350.8, so we can write it down as 100%=350.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 308.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=308.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=350.8
2) x%=308.89
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%=350.8/308.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 308.89 is what percent of 350.8

100%/x%=350.8/308.89
(100/x)*x=(350.8/308.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1356793680598*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1356793680598) to get x
100/1.1356793680598=x
88.053021664766=x
x=88.053021664766

now we have:
308.89 is 88.053021664766% of 350.8
