350.3 is what percent of 2284.72 - 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 2284.72 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 2284.72, so we can write it down as 100%=2284.72.
4. We know, that x% equals 350.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=350.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2284.72
2) x%=350.3
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%=2284.72/350.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 350.3 is what percent of 2284.72

100%/x%=2284.72/350.3
(100/x)*x=(2284.72/350.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.5221809877248*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.5221809877248) to get x
100/6.5221809877248=x
15.332294548128=x
x=15.332294548128

now we have:
350.3 is 15.332294548128% of 2284.72
