34.7 is what percent of 295 - 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 295 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 295, so we can write it down as 100%=295.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=295
2) x%=34.7
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%=295/34.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.7 is what percent of 295

100%/x%=295/34.7
(100/x)*x=(295/34.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.5014409221902*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.5014409221902) to get x
100/8.5014409221902=x
11.762711864407=x
x=11.762711864407

now we have:
34.7 is 11.762711864407% of 295
