34.94 is what percent of 100 - 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 100 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 100, so we can write it down as 100%=100.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=100
2) x%=34.94
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%=100/34.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.94 is what percent of 100

100%/x%=100/34.94
(100/x)*x=(100/34.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8620492272467*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8620492272467) to get x
100/2.8620492272467=x
34.94=x
x=34.94

now we have:
34.94 is 34.94% of 100
