347.77 is what percent of 350 - 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 350 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 350, so we can write it down as 100%=350.
4. We know, that x% equals 347.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=347.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=350
2) x%=347.77
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%=350/347.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 347.77 is what percent of 350

100%/x%=350/347.77
(100/x)*x=(350/347.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0064122839808*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0064122839808) to get x
100/1.0064122839808=x
99.362857142857=x
x=99.362857142857

now we have:
347.77 is 99.362857142857% of 350
