348.55 is what percent of 440 - 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 440 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 440, so we can write it down as 100%=440.
4. We know, that x% equals 348.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=348.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=440
2) x%=348.55
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%=440/348.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 348.55 is what percent of 440

100%/x%=440/348.55
(100/x)*x=(440/348.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2623726868455*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2623726868455) to get x
100/1.2623726868455=x
79.215909090909=x
x=79.215909090909

now we have:
348.55 is 79.215909090909% of 440
