34.49 is what percent of 219.54 - 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 219.54 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 219.54, so we can write it down as 100%=219.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=219.54
2) x%=34.49
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%=219.54/34.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.49 is what percent of 219.54

100%/x%=219.54/34.49
(100/x)*x=(219.54/34.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.3653232821108*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.3653232821108) to get x
100/6.3653232821108=x
15.710121162431=x
x=15.710121162431

now we have:
34.49 is 15.710121162431% of 219.54
