34.9 is what percent of 80.92 - 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 80.92 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 80.92, so we can write it down as 100%=80.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=80.92
2) x%=34.9
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%=80.92/34.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.9 is what percent of 80.92

100%/x%=80.92/34.9
(100/x)*x=(80.92/34.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3186246418338*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3186246418338) to get x
100/2.3186246418338=x
43.129016312407=x
x=43.129016312407

now we have:
34.9 is 43.129016312407% of 80.92
