348.35 is what percent of 359 - 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 359 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 359, so we can write it down as 100%=359.
4. We know, that x% equals 348.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=348.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=359
2) x%=348.35
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%=359/348.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 348.35 is what percent of 359

100%/x%=359/348.35
(100/x)*x=(359/348.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0305726998708*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0305726998708) to get x
100/1.0305726998708=x
97.033426183844=x
x=97.033426183844

now we have:
348.35 is 97.033426183844% of 359
