335.5 is what percent of 330 - 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 330 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 330, so we can write it down as 100%=330.
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%=330
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%=330/335.5
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 330

100%/x%=330/335.5
(100/x)*x=(330/335.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.98360655737705*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.98360655737705) to get x
100/0.98360655737705=x
101.66666666667=x
x=101.66666666667

now we have:
335.5 is 101.66666666667% of 330
