35 is what percent of 1153 - 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 1153 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 1153, so we can write it down as 100%=1153.
4. We know, that x% equals 35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1153
2) x%=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%=1153/35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35 is what percent of 1153

100%/x%=1153/35
(100/x)*x=(1153/35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32.942857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.942857142857) to get x
100/32.942857142857=x
3.0355594102342=x
x=3.0355594102342

now we have:
35 is 3.0355594102342% of 1153
