34.5 is what percent of 80.1 - 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 80.1 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 80.1, so we can write it down as 100%=80.1.
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%=80.1
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%=80.1/34.5
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 80.1

100%/x%=80.1/34.5
(100/x)*x=(80.1/34.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3217391304348*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3217391304348) to get x
100/2.3217391304348=x
43.071161048689=x
x=43.071161048689

now we have:
34.5 is 43.071161048689% of 80.1
