35.04 is what percent of 101.28 - 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 101.28 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 101.28, so we can write it down as 100%=101.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 35.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=101.28
2) x%=35.04
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%=101.28/35.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35.04 is what percent of 101.28

100%/x%=101.28/35.04
(100/x)*x=(101.28/35.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8904109589041*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8904109589041) to get x
100/2.8904109589041=x
34.597156398104=x
x=34.597156398104

now we have:
35.04 is 34.597156398104% of 101.28
