35 is what percent of 2335 - 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 2335 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 2335, so we can write it down as 100%=2335.
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%=2335
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%=2335/35
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 2335

100%/x%=2335/35
(100/x)*x=(2335/35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.714285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.714285714286) to get x
100/66.714285714286=x
1.4989293361884=x
x=1.4989293361884

now we have:
35 is 1.4989293361884% of 2335
