350.28 is what percent of 5649.6 - 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 5649.6 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 5649.6, so we can write it down as 100%=5649.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 350.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=350.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5649.6
2) x%=350.28
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%=5649.6/350.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 350.28 is what percent of 5649.6

100%/x%=5649.6/350.28
(100/x)*x=(5649.6/350.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.128811236725*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.128811236725) to get x
100/16.128811236725=x
6.2000849617672=x
x=6.2000849617672

now we have:
