35.25 is what percent of 1803.78 - 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 1803.78 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 1803.78, so we can write it down as 100%=1803.78.
4. We know, that x% equals 35.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1803.78
2) x%=35.25
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%=1803.78/35.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35.25 is what percent of 1803.78

100%/x%=1803.78/35.25
(100/x)*x=(1803.78/35.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=51.171063829787*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (51.171063829787) to get x
100/51.171063829787=x
1.9542294514852=x
x=1.9542294514852

now we have:
