34.57 is what percent of 1061 - 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 1061 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 1061, so we can write it down as 100%=1061.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1061
2) x%=34.57
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%=1061/34.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.57 is what percent of 1061

100%/x%=1061/34.57
(100/x)*x=(1061/34.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=30.691350882268*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.691350882268) to get x
100/30.691350882268=x
3.258246936852=x
x=3.258246936852

now we have:
34.57 is 3.258246936852% of 1061
