35 is what percent of 2380 - 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 2380 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 2380, so we can write it down as 100%=2380.
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%=2380
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%=2380/35
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 2380

100%/x%=2380/35
(100/x)*x=(2380/35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68) to get x
100/68=x
1.4705882352941=x
x=1.4705882352941

now we have:
35 is 1.4705882352941% of 2380
