35.5 is what percent of 11339.8 - 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 11339.8 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 11339.8, so we can write it down as 100%=11339.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 35.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11339.8
2) x%=35.5
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%=11339.8/35.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35.5 is what percent of 11339.8

100%/x%=11339.8/35.5
(100/x)*x=(11339.8/35.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=319.43098591549*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (319.43098591549) to get x
100/319.43098591549=x
0.3130566676661=x
x=0.3130566676661

now we have:
