34.03 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 34.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=35
2) x%=34.03
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%=35/34.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.03 is what percent of 35

100%/x%=35/34.03
(100/x)*x=(35/34.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0285042609462*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0285042609462) to get x
100/1.0285042609462=x
97.228571428571=x
x=97.228571428571

now we have:
34.03 is 97.228571428571% of 35
