349.5 is what percent of 804 - 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 804 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 804, so we can write it down as 100%=804.
4. We know, that x% equals 349.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=349.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=804
2) x%=349.5
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%=804/349.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 349.5 is what percent of 804

100%/x%=804/349.5
(100/x)*x=(804/349.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3004291845494*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3004291845494) to get x
100/2.3004291845494=x
43.470149253731=x
x=43.470149253731

now we have:
349.5 is 43.470149253731% of 804
