35.8 is what percent of 39.33 - 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 39.33 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 39.33, so we can write it down as 100%=39.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 35.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=35.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=39.33
2) x%=35.8
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%=39.33/35.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 35.8 is what percent of 39.33

100%/x%=39.33/35.8
(100/x)*x=(39.33/35.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0986033519553*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0986033519553) to get x
100/1.0986033519553=x
91.024663107043=x
x=91.024663107043

now we have:
35.8 is 91.024663107043% of 39.33
