349.97 is what percent of 460 - 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 460 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 460, so we can write it down as 100%=460.
4. We know, that x% equals 349.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=349.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=460
2) x%=349.97
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%=460/349.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 349.97 is what percent of 460

100%/x%=460/349.97
(100/x)*x=(460/349.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3143983770037*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3143983770037) to get x
100/1.3143983770037=x
76.080434782609=x
x=76.080434782609

now we have:
349.97 is 76.080434782609% of 460
