31308 is what percent of 35556 - 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 35556 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 35556, so we can write it down as 100%=35556.
4. We know, that x% equals 31308 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=31308.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35556
2) x%=31308
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%=35556/31308
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 31308 is what percent of 35556

100%/x%=35556/31308
(100/x)*x=(35556/31308)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1356841701801*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1356841701801) to get x
100/1.1356841701801=x
88.052649341883=x
x=88.052649341883

now we have:
31308 is 88.052649341883% of 35556
