35 is what percent of 393 - 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 393 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 393, so we can write it down as 100%=393.
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%=393
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%=393/35
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 393

100%/x%=393/35
(100/x)*x=(393/35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.228571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.228571428571) to get x
100/11.228571428571=x
8.9058524173028=x
x=8.9058524173028

now we have:
35 is 8.9058524173028% of 393
