35.27 is what percent of 198.51 - 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 198.51 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 198.51, so we can write it down as 100%=198.51.
4. We know, that x% equals 35.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=198.51
2) x%=35.27
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%=198.51/35.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35.27 is what percent of 198.51

100%/x%=198.51/35.27
(100/x)*x=(198.51/35.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.6282960022682*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6282960022682) to get x
100/5.6282960022682=x
17.76736688328=x
x=17.76736688328

now we have:
35.27 is 17.76736688328% of 198.51
