35 is what percent of 6050 - 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 6050 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 6050, so we can write it down as 100%=6050.
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%=6050
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%=6050/35
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 6050

100%/x%=6050/35
(100/x)*x=(6050/35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=172.85714285714*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (172.85714285714) to get x
100/172.85714285714=x
0.57851239669421=x
x=0.57851239669421

now we have:
35 is 0.57851239669421% of 6050
