347.55 is what percent of 395 - 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 395 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 395, so we can write it down as 100%=395.
4. We know, that x% equals 347.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=347.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=395
2) x%=347.55
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%=395/347.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 347.55 is what percent of 395

100%/x%=395/347.55
(100/x)*x=(395/347.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1365271184002*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1365271184002) to get x
100/1.1365271184002=x
87.987341772152=x
x=87.987341772152

now we have:
347.55 is 87.987341772152% of 395
