34.5 is what percent of 1028 - 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 1028 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 1028, so we can write it down as 100%=1028.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1028
2) x%=34.5
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%=1028/34.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.5 is what percent of 1028

100%/x%=1028/34.5
(100/x)*x=(1028/34.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.797101449275*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.797101449275) to get x
100/29.797101449275=x
3.3560311284047=x
x=3.3560311284047

now we have:
34.5 is 3.3560311284047% of 1028
