35 is what percent of 1465 - 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 1465 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 1465, so we can write it down as 100%=1465.
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%=1465
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%=1465/35
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 1465

100%/x%=1465/35
(100/x)*x=(1465/35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=41.857142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (41.857142857143) to get x
100/41.857142857143=x
2.3890784982935=x
x=2.3890784982935

now we have:
35 is 2.3890784982935% of 1465
