346.26 is what percent of 5792 - 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 5792 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 5792, so we can write it down as 100%=5792.
4. We know, that x% equals 346.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=346.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5792
2) x%=346.26
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%=5792/346.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 346.26 is what percent of 5792

100%/x%=5792/346.26
(100/x)*x=(5792/346.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.727314734593*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.727314734593) to get x
100/16.727314734593=x
5.9782458563536=x
x=5.9782458563536

now we have:
