35.05 is what percent of 652.4 - 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 652.4 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 652.4, so we can write it down as 100%=652.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 35.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=652.4
2) x%=35.05
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%=652.4/35.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35.05 is what percent of 652.4

100%/x%=652.4/35.05
(100/x)*x=(652.4/35.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.613409415121*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.613409415121) to get x
100/18.613409415121=x
5.3724708767627=x
x=5.3724708767627

now we have:
35.05 is 5.3724708767627% of 652.4
