350.8 is what percent of 1557.68 - 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 1557.68 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 1557.68, so we can write it down as 100%=1557.68.
4. We know, that x% equals 350.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=350.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1557.68
2) x%=350.8
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%=1557.68/350.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 350.8 is what percent of 1557.68

100%/x%=1557.68/350.8
(100/x)*x=(1557.68/350.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4403648802737*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4403648802737) to get x
100/4.4403648802737=x
22.520671768271=x
x=22.520671768271

now we have:
