332.5 is what percent of 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 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 35, so we can write it down as 100%=35.
4. We know, that x% equals 332.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=332.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35
2) x%=332.5
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%=35/332.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 332.5 is what percent of 35

100%/x%=35/332.5
(100/x)*x=(35/332.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.10526315789474*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.10526315789474) to get x
100/0.10526315789474=x
950=x
x=950

now we have:
332.5 is 950% of 35
