335.5 is what percent of 1548 - 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 1548 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 1548, so we can write it down as 100%=1548.
4. We know, that x% equals 335.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=335.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1548
2) x%=335.5
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%=1548/335.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 335.5 is what percent of 1548

100%/x%=1548/335.5
(100/x)*x=(1548/335.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6140089418778*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6140089418778) to get x
100/4.6140089418778=x
21.673126614987=x
x=21.673126614987

now we have:
335.5 is 21.673126614987% of 1548
